No, but there are a lot of long-range radars that use those frequencies. It's bad enough now that our ships can't radiate on most of the radars within about 15 km of the coast.

It's one of those 'purloined letter' type of web designs. If you go to the toronto hydro site, you'll see a graphic in the middle of the page that says "one zone - no strings attached" with a picture of a man sitting in a red inflatable chair. Click on the graphic and you'll be on a page with links to a coverage map and an FAQ.Yup, to Jarvis I believe. I wish they have a map of the coverage at the Hydro Telecom site, apparently somebody forgot to put it on or tried real hard to make it difficult to find...
Visually your web-trained eye just skips over the graphic because it looks exactly like an ad. (the fact that the graphic gives no indication that more information is found there doesn't help. The page with the information should be linked from the page with the news release.)

Toronto Hydro Selects Wi-Fi Provider
From Cablecaster magazine...
Toronto Hydro Selects Wi-Fi Provider
Siemens Communications Group, a division of Siemens Canada Limited, will provide equipment, implementation and services in support of Toronto Hydro Telecom's Wi-Fi plans.
Negotiations relating to the terms and conditions of equipment supply, implementation and services are ongoing and have not yet been finalized.
The agreement with Toronto Hydro Telecom, which marks Siemens' entry into the Canadian wireless technology market, includes the use of a mesh Wi-Fi network that will provide coverage for an area of up to ten square kilometres and it is anticipated that it will be fully deployed in downtown Toronto by year-end 2006. End-users will be able to access the Internet from wireless-enabled laptop computers, mobile headsets and other mobile devices, or simply place VoIP phone calls. High transfer rates (up to 54 megabits per second) will mean shorter download times and faster surfing than what is currently available today, the companies describe.
"We conducted an RFP process, and the winner both in terms of depth of experience and quality of technology was Siemens," said David Dobbin, President, Toronto Hydro Telecom. "Siemens has global expertise in wireless technology, and their proposal was based on leading-edge third-generation wireless technology that more than meets our criteria for reliability, speed and scalability. That's exactly what a world-class city such as Toronto needs in order to steer a course to greater competitiveness and productivity."
"We are extremely pleased to part of such an historic initiative in Canada's largest city," said Prof. Dr. Albert Maringer, President and CEO, Siemens Canada Limited. "Siemens has been intimately involved in building Canadian infrastructure for over 80 years. With the completion of this project with Toronto Hydro Telecom, the city of Toronto's wireless connectivity will be a benchmark for cities not only in Canada but across the world."
As part of its deployment strategy, Toronto Hydro Telecom will use Siemens' "Wireless Integration@vantage" wireless integration platform which provides features such as access control, authentication and accounting. The software for this platform was developed by Garderos Software Innovations, a wholly-owned Siemens subsidiary. The network nodes are from the "Siemens Mesh@vantage MR" product family, based on industry-leading wireless mesh technology from BelAir Networks.
"BelAir Networks is proud that our industry-leading wireless mesh technology has been chosen by Siemens and Toronto Hydro Telecom for North America's largest municipal wireless network," said Bernard Herscovich, President and CEO, BelAir Networks.

Wireless Toronto just installed at Dufferine Grove Park. So you can sit there and compute for free.
