Re: Rosy muni-WiFi stories getting fewer and fewer
#1 - It's not a failed project.. yet.
#2 - I'm not sure if you're agreeing with me here..
#3 - No, but I'm not saying if they're good or bad either way, I'm saying pointing at one, WHICH JUST STARTED and is having a little trouble, doesn't defame the entire idea.
The economics point towards municipal owned networks as the free market ideal. Since it's not only unsightly, but at some point infeasible, to have multiple, competing networks, localities who wish to, SHOULD build their own network, and allow private enterprise to COMPETE to offer the best service at the best prices. Weather that's Wifi, or WiMax, or FTTH, is up to each locality. I'm willing to bet no system is the ideal EVERYWHERE. |
