Re: Dumb Government

The concept itself is sound... I just don't see why government should be involved in any way at all in terms of building and running the network. If a company wants to risk its own assets to run such a network, then I say have at it. But the government should not and must not be expected to bail out a failed project, especially when it has a proven track record of failure.

Come to think of it, I wonder what would happen if Bear Stearns decided to get into the municipal wifi racket.
