Eugene can hardly be considered huge. The biggest problem is the terrain. A lot of hills and trees to contend with. We don't have much for highrise building and large flat areas like a desert town might have. The puts a strangle on the reality of getting WiFi everywhere.
In regards to the businesses putting out for equipment, in this economy and the margins many establishments get by on, especially food outlets that typically provide free WiFi they may not want to stretch their offering out to the whole town. A placement page is a nice idea but is it really going to drive business to locations that aren't already getting it? Your best bets will come from enthusiastic individuals who are willing to prop up antennas and spend their own monies to do this. All of that is just my $0.07 (adjusted for inflation).
