network design, serving as firewall, QOS, VPN concentrator, APs and

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.
