New York City tries to even out access to wireless networks
New York City officials are “pushing companies that lease public space for telecom-equipment installations to move more aggressively beyond the city's core, to improve wireless services more quickly for a broader swath of residents.” Samir Saini, commissioner of the city's Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications, noted “we're using every tool we have to ensure that this technology hits our streets in the most rapid, widespread and equitable way possible.”
