Thanks!  I'm glad you brought this to our attention.

The article does not mention anything about using the poles for siting
WIFI access points.  At the time I had thought that this was the real
point of the deal.

Siting access points could be hard and the poles could have been
really valuable for this add-on application.  Another monopoly for
THES.

As far as I've noticed (i.e. not at all), Toronto Hydro's plan for
WI-FI coverage has not really caught on.  Anybody know?
