One of the arguments for municipal wi-fi networks is disaster response communication and last week in Minneapolis it worked as planned. The city opened up their subscription service to everyone after the bridge collapsed and the company that runs the system put in three additional access points near the disaster scene and three live wi-fi cameras to provide a live feed to the command center. They reported the usage on their network jumped 600 percent during the disaster.
