Tony, Any building in the world; that's a lot of access points. Current versions of the "access points" are small, modem sized boxes that mount on a wall near the ceiling in a corridor. One can actually serve a few buildings, like the 300 meter radius suggests. Sounds like a very ambitious overall plan. WiFi access points are a really nice technology, but there may be problems if they are installed at high density without coordination, as there are only three channels available which do not partly overlap in frequency.
