City councilors in Waltham, Massachusetts are getting behind a resolution to bring a citywide wireless network to the area. The resolution is being referred to the town's E-Committee to study, and also to figure out how much it will cost.
Councilors believe a wireless network will spur economic development as well as increase public safety. They cited an example where wireless-internet connected cameras can be mounted throughout the city so that any suspicious actions can be monitored by the local police and responded to quickly.
