Re: Foresight ?

The city chose not to purchase the equipment with the understanding and expectation that MetroFi would remove it by the end of July. Instead, MetroFi stopped returning calls and essentially turned off and abandoned the equipment. At this point it is basically litter in the Public Right of Way.

The city is going to have to pay at least $30K to remove it, from what I've read. They are waiting until the equipment is legally forfeit in order to avoid the legal fees that would come with trying to remove it sooner.

Metro-Fi should wait until the last minute...then take down all the antenna's.

They offered the in-place system to the city for a cost...which balked...and is going the "welfare" route.

Typical though...wanting something for nothing.
