The University of Minnesota is setting up the World’s largest 802.11n wireless network set to take the next five years and serve more than 80 000 people.

Apparently the Minnesota big wigs put little stock in yesterday’s assertions by Johan Bergendahl that WiFi was bye bye, the University’s massive project will encompass 9 500 access points, 300 buildings, 22 million indoor square feet and 1 204 acres.

Now Johan, that’s a lot of phone booths.
