| And the subway coverage is far from 100%. Might be 100% on the stations.

Recent equipment in Asia uses a modified coax along the subway lines
to leak EM into the tunnels.  100% reception is expected in most
Asian metro/subway lines.

That has provided some thought, such as providing 802.11b access
on the subways.
