Guest Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 This is a good service for passengers and also for drivers. For example if someone wishes to listen internet radio via mobile device. Naturally this can even be done with EDGE/UMTS connection. Another thing is to load map tiles to clients which need to access the network. But how the network will be done? WLAN does not have very long range. There will be huge amount of devices, which are accessing the network. This means there will be huge amounts of handovers from one base station to another. WLAN does not have very long range. Try WMax. WiMax? That was pretty much forgotten technology even before it came to the markets. Not many devices support WiMax either. Well.. there would be good bandwith for each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 They say "could cause them to take their focus off driving," Now that has to be the understatement of the year. Is it April1 Could, not really as they are not focused on their driving anyhow. Well most of t hem. I stand corrected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailfish1 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 They should try to provide Wi-Fi on the Skytrain, Subway, and the buses (or maybe they already do). That would at least provide a little more incentive to use mass transit. Wi-Fi on the expressways is a disaster in the making - there will inevitably be drivers using the internet and lead to crashes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannarebirth Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Next years headline. "Driver slams into minibus on expressway, killing 9, while viewing porn". Charges dropped due to "lack of evidence" and ties to high ranking policemen. Still the Deprtments of Culture and Information Technology are so offended by the crime they shut down another 1,500 websites.

LincsLad Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 People may use this free wifi to access Facebook, which would lead to more pregnant teenagers and taxi drivers. The mind boggles, it really does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaowong1 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I haven't read the posts to this topic yet, but have to say, this is the most stupid thing I've heard this week. However the week is young, I'm sure another beauty will pop up before the week is out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerrytheyoung Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Do like Thai officials: be passenger in a Toyota grey van with a driver, Recruit a driver so you can play with Internet and Facebook, it will reduce unemployment.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thequietman Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Surely free wifi can be made available in more places where it can be genuinely useful rather than expressways or am I missing something? Posted with Thaivisa App http://apps.thaivisa.com still 2000 schools in thailand with no electricity or clean water but this is a priority. wth. so as well as dealing with drugged up minivan drivers, we also have to contend with them surfing the net whilst driving.
