The solution is different for every city, but it looks like Milwaukee
is in a good spot.
Midwest Fiber will be an overbuilder - something not seen much since
the telecom bust - putting in their own fiber network and connecting
wireless to it.
Note that the relationship between Midwest Fiber is strictly one of
trading something (probably free access in lieu of money) to the city
for access to public assets. There was no RFP/RFI/whatever, and the
city has no up front requirements for municipal services (it already
has a publicly owned fiber network).
