Oklahoma City Dealys The Use Of Their WiFi Network

Driving through Oklahoma City is made more exciting with the installation of the world’s largest WiFi network… or so we thought. Oklahoma City officials have released a statement saying that the Wifi network is reserved exclusively for public safety and other city operations and it won't be used soon. That’s too bad because the network itself covers 555 square miles with over 95% service coverage. This WiFi network took two whole years to make and $5 million was used. What’s bad about this is these funds were taken from public safety capital sales tax and city capital improvement funds. What a letdown people.
