Re: Muni-WiFi failure list grows by 1 "The CITY wants YOU the ISP to front all the capital, build the thing, operate it, and make DANG sure they have oversight to change requirements."
Ain't the city FRONTING the money? Seems ass backwards for them to rely on a company to provide capital for a non-profit thing such as muni wifi...of course profits will be made, but wouldn't all that go to the company making the network because of how they price their own services an infra?
Seems like your taking a pretty radical stance with all the radical comments made...white collar criminals an idiots?
Down here in Silver Spring, ain't no one making money off our muni wifi, noones stealing, and everyones hooking up easy as Clooney gettin' ass, so their goes your idiot analogy...;) | |

The linked previous stories about why previous vendor pulled out, indicated the Sacramento politicians originally said they were going to be an "anchor tenant". Essentially using this WISP as their provider and paying a bunch for it, would give them a big fixed customer.
Then they changed their minds and suddenly wanted it to be all ad-supported, with the city risking nothing. Sounds good to the taxpayers, but blew the deal. City wanted to have no skin in the game, but dictate all the terms for "their" network. Typical. | |
