what is the cost of this new cam ??? Any one know ?

It isn't "big money". A couple hundred dollars for the low resolution camera and a few hundred more to hook it up to the existing fiber line that runs down the side of the highway.

I just hope that traffic division figures out that allowing a single vehicle on Milo should not immediately trigger a red light on the main highway, just so that a single vehicle doesn't have to wait more than 3 seconds.
The system Thiel described, if instituted, would be islandwide, and similar to Oahu’s GoAkamai system.
According to the article, Thiel said a preliminary price to install about two-thirds of the cameras and associated operating network is about $17 million. He said federal grants could provide 100 percent of the cost, but added there are “a lot of hoops to go through.”[:0]
