    Well Kinda , according to the ENN fed to the Reg
    The new MeshHopper service is the first publicly accessible metropolitan area wireless network in the country. Unlike regular hotspots which allow users to access high-speed internet services providing they are within a relatively short distance from a base unit - such as within the confines of a hotel or cafe - Smart Telecom's service covers a 1.5 sq kilometre area which means that users will be able to roam within the whole of Cork city centre without losing their internet signal.

    Interesting but its not Smarts core business is it :)

    Funnily enough they launched this same network back in November at the IT@Cork conference.

    Works from inside my office, which is neat.

    I heard that Smart were watching what CorkWAN were up to, and were willing to trade bandwidth for priority in any conflict situation...
