My fee based network which was built with partnering agreements with my
municipality before there was such a term as muni-wifi is doing about
$40K a month in recurring revenue. Is that close enough to what you are
looking for? :-)
The definition of muni-wifi needs to be made clear in order to
understand the question fully. Connections per month generally applies
to hotspot only type traffic. Are you relegating this definition of fee
based muni-wifi to be strictly hotspot type connections? I want to make
sure I understand what your question is and what you are looking for.
What is the point of the question?
Thanks,
Scriv

Airports are the only place where I have ever chosen to pay for a Wi-Fi

not pay unless I have over an hour and I really need to get on.
That is also why I like airports like Vegas (America West) and Tampa
(Delta) where access is free, at least in the terminals I use.

It seems the Philly airport is only seeing 10,000 connections per
month on their Wi-Fi network. I would argue that an airport is one of
the top places where someone would be willing to pay for a Wi-Fi
connection. 10,000 connections per month is going to take a long long
time to return
the investment spent putting in the network.
