Another way for this city to go further into debt- trying to be an ISP. And as far as NYC- they used to have NYCWireless- a private 501c3 that offered free wifi until companies like VZ decided to launch their own hotspots only later to shut them down.

Many cities across the country offer broadband, tv, and phone at a profit to the city because they built their own fiber network. There is nothing wrong with cutting out the for profit middleman and having the tax payers own the ISP. If the city would go into debt being an ISP then no private company would even attempt to do it. -- ...brought to you by Carl's Jr.
