It is expected to cost more than $200 million to build the network.
The city’s Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications said the network would be 100 times as fast as average municipal Wi-Fi systems, and more than 20 times as fast as average home Internet service in the city.

I admit I sometimes have a hard time understanding technology.
Let's say that a person does not have a cell phone, nor a laptop...how can a person make a phone call from these new updated versions?
