Boston VS NEC

Tom Menino has announced his ambitious plan to have Boston WiFi-ed up within 4 years. 2010 sounds a bit far from today but is it really that far? What will wireless technology be like in 4 years? But the main issue here is, who will get unwired first, NEC or Boston? It could be a tight race folks, even if the city runs up against some delays and over-budgets, since NEC is very familiar with both of those problems too.
