That one's easy. They have a $400,000 per year budget. The city should
contract with the WISP for that.
Sheesh, 15 square miles. I could do that with my eyes closed!

I am doubting that wisps can actually accomadate the muni in most
situations, unless they are closely involved with the design of the
network, Talking spectrum use here.
As for going along with free muni wifi, How is a wisp going to operate if
a muni is offering for free or at cut rate pricing?
And how are they going to expand if the spectrum is used up all over the
place with unlicensed omni's on every corner.

Unfortunately, this may be one of the first of many such muni problems
that I've been forcasting for years. Muni wireless can be done correctly
and WISPs (IMHO) should always try (when allowed) to play a positive role
in proper network design and operation however most muni networks are
incorrectly designed by people with limited wireless experience (yes,
that even includes some mesh network vendors) which will lead to network
failure, waste of taxpayer money, and possible loss of jobs on the part
of the city IT folks (not to mention the elected officials) who backed
the networks without first learning about how wireless technology really
works.

I am not a fan of muni wireless.
