| I dont want to say it just yet......
but I cant hold back.
I told you so.
The city of miami beach hasn't put up a single tropos node in months now. The city is already months behind schedule and less then 20% of the city has nodes installed (mostly left overs from the "trial period").
It is not that muni wi-fi is a bad concept, it is that it is technically infeasible with a muni's limited budget and existing infrastructure. Many cities are now finding out the hard way....wait let me digress. Tax payers are now finding out the hard way. I take no joy in this, just saddened by the waste that I, and many experienced in the industry, saw coming a mile away.
I hope many muni's can salvage their efforts and do something positive and effective in bringing competition and better value to their marketplace/constituencies.
