No such thing as "no-cost"

Someone has to pay for power, maintenance, and bandwidth and vapor revenues from vapor ads will not do it.

But I suppose the anti muni group will use this as a reason why muni's should not try to give the voters their requested broadband, even though the free stuff is a flawed program for anyone trying to do it and it is definitely not the people trying to get any type of decent service despite what the corporate world wants to let us have.

Have never been able to figure out, if Utopia and other muni driven systems are so bad, and are in areas that the corporations say are not worth doing, why do the corporations pay so much in bribes and advertising and fight so hard to kill or cripple them? If they are bad, then they will fail no matter what happens, or is there something really going on?.

Wimax is a possible "easier to maintain with less APs" solution coming along. WiFi will never make it in citywide implementations.

And since most people are now getting data plans on their cellphones, the need for citywide WiFi isn't really needed.
