Is your building a rental or co-op? If you're renting, the chances of
getting your landlord to install wi-fi throughout your building are probably
slim to none. I can't even get my landlord to replace my 60-year -old
stove. But if your building is co-op, you might be able to persuade the
co-op board to install wi-fi if a majority of other tenants also want it.
I'm not aware of any older apartment buildings here in Manhattan that have
been upgraded with building-wide wi-fi. This would be an expensive project,
and given the current economic climate, most tenants would probably not want
to pay higher rent or maintenance fees for it. Gerald

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Question about wify connections and wireless
inapartment building.
Good morning everyone:
I would very much like to ask the following question on the list for
informational purposes. In approximately in about 8 or 10 months from
now, Our building here in Manhattan, will be going under major renovation.
The result of this will include, putting in new flooring, updating the
electricity, putting in new kitchen cabinets, and improving the lighting
in hauls and individual apartments. Now, here is the questions that I
would like too ask. I'm thinking of presenting too our tenants
association board, too ask the members of our housing board the following.
How can a building be setup for wify throughout the building. If a person
has wireless connection conductivity in there apartment, can wify still be
setup throughout the building anyway? Also we have both a rear yard, as
well as a ruff garden that has benches where tenants can sit and take in
the fresh air, when weather permits. Can this area have wifi access as
well? Is there any kind of specialized equipment that needs too be
installed for this purpose throughout the building, and if so, does anyone
here know how much this project would cost if they were too except it? The
reason that I'm asking these questions, is because since many of us who
live in the building have laptops, and netbooks, I think it would be nice
too be able too go anyware through out the building, too be able too
access a connection too web sites or anything else that we might want, and
have access too any of these features if we as tenants, were too have wify
conductivity both in and out of our building.
If anyone on the list here has any advice or suggestions about anything
that I've mentioned on this subject, all would be very much appreciated.
