Transit Wireless today announced that it has begun Phase Two of its project to bring cellular and Wi-Fi wireless service to New York City's subway stations. The first step of Phase Two is to light up service at 11 more midtown Manhattan stations, including those at Grand Central Terminal, 34th St. Herald Square, and Bryant Park. The bulk of Phase Two, however, targets 29 stations in Queens. Transit Wireless is building a hub in Queens to help manage the infrastructure from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless. The Queens build out begins in March and should be complete by June. Transit Wireless has not said if or when it will offer subway station service in the boroughs of the Bronx or Brooklyn.

Question?
I have seen photos of those hubs and I was wondering (can't google at work); the "hubs" are they going to be spread out by carrier across the stations?

Curious to see how that would work.
It would only cause harmful interference if the wifi devices are trying to access the exact same frequency as any other device, or as something that causes interference, like another phone. Yeah, having all those people packed together like that woul...
