| Draw the line. Its accuracy comes into question. When I looked up my state, city, I saw that it listed a working municipal wireless network. The only wireless network in the city is for police officers and it uses NexGen wireless equipment. Just FYI for those in the dark about their city's deployments. | |

| Inaccurate Data The information used appears to be incomplete since the city where I live (Middletown, Connecticut) has had a public wi-fi hotspot downtown for almost a year now (it was launched the middle of May, 2004). I guess maybe CNet is only up to muni wi-fi hotspots that had been rolled out in 2003 and before or they don't count ones that are partnerships between municipalities and local business communities. | |

They caught ours which was launched in July 2004.
Also, it's not technically a "muni" since it was built with private funds but is free for public use. | |

| bad data I only know of a public-private partnership that brings paid wi-fi in the Des Moines International Airport (DSM) and a wireless network only the Department of Transportation uses to monitor streetlights and such.
There are also a bunch of communities that already have broadband networks. Only Des Moines is listed.

East Lansing, MI | Great, but.... It is not accurate because Michigan does have a bill HR 4600 to limit municipal telecommunications. | |
