Toronto wireless way too slow

The problem with building wireless mesh network is the current speed will never be fast enough. Since wireless is still early in it's development do you think that Toronto Hydro will abandone it's plan to go wi-fi everywhere for new technology?

To satisfy our appetite for bandwidth the next generation networks needed will required to have speed of present day Gigabyte ethernet. "Georgia Tech have built a new architecture which delivers super-broadband wired and wireless service simultaneously. This hybrid system "could allow dual wired/wireless transmission up to 100 times faster than current networks." In fact, this optical-wireless network can carry as many as 32 different channels, each providing 2.5 gigabit-per-second service to your home or your office," as reported by ZDNET.

Can anyone say Wi-Fi? Quickly in less than 3 years times this new development will be available. Why should Toronto build a wi-fi network now when the future is already here? The problem is best practices. City of Toronto has never been a leader but always a follower. The Wi-Fi city will be built on best practices and not on innovation.
