Most of the WiFi user groups are blowing it right now, while their leaders fool themselves into believing they'll benefit financially. I know the incumbents, and I know government... they'll blow right by the user groups... unless they adopt the city first. You've been reading my onlist posts, right?
They're leaving vacuums open in local government, regulatory processes and physical networks... all benefit the incumbents. Nature abhors a vacuum. I saw it happen earlier with the telecoms. Government was the last cause. It's happening all over again. And, now we're the cause. You need the stakeholders, which is why you need the platform. You need the municipal governments, which is why you need the local stakeholders. You need a non-profit to lead, otherwise government intrudes.
