I am glad to hear this. I am coming to the MUM in Dallas. I have already
registered actually. I think Mac, Rick and Matt are all coming also. I
look forward to seeing you guys again. Thanks for the update on mesh for
Mikrotik coming soon.
Cheers,

Hello John,
MikroTik is currently developing the biggest feature of mesh -- easy
to install systems (no configuration required) that have a radio (or
more) for local and a radio (or more) for backbone. This will enable
WISP to compete better with the expensive Strix and other MESH
systems. You will hear more about this at the MikroTik user meeting
in Dallas - mum.mikrotik.com .

Munis are just your hometown wanting service just like residents,
business and education. As soon as we learn this we will all benefit
from it greatly. Public safety specifically is the killer application
of muni broadband in my opinion. If we all learn how to sell this to
our towns and service it correctly we will inevitably win in the end.
Backhaul to munis who decide to go it alone is also an option. I
would bet most if not all of them would pay for a service agreement
on their networks also. Maybe they will pay you to build their
network for them?

I personally don't much care for Muni wireless as I would rather the
government stay out of the ISP business. With that being said, Rome,
GA announced that GTS had won the the contract to install a wireless
system for the city. See
http://muniwireless.com/municipal/bids/1102/ for details on the
announcement.
What I thought the list might find interesting is that we
(AirInfinite, now One Ring Networks) were included in GTS's bid and
will now be providing backhaul for the wireless network. I believe
this is an interesting approach for WISPs to take when dealing with
munis that have an interest in wireless.
