Re: How Is This Going To Be Funded?
And that's the point, does anyone really NEED wireless access, in an urban or rural environment? Some people do, sure....but taxpayers shouldn't foot the bill. The schools argument isn't the same. Everyone has or can benefit from a public education. Unless you're secure enough to get a private education. And then, guess what, you pay through the teeth for that private education. And that's fine.
I'd like to see a municipal government demonstrate that wifi is a public necessity. Nope, I think users should pay for it. A whole other question is can wifi companies support their networks with just user fees? Few people are going to pay for a service they can't use in home or office. How many people do you know that work in a public square????? |
