At a cost of $385,000, the community piggybacked on a local power utility's fiber, deploying a wireless network for the town's 6,000 residents. According to Scottsburg's Mayor, the move ultimately saved the town $6000 per month in telecommunications costs, and a number of local jobs.
Wow! $385,000 / 6000 = ~$64 per resident. Yup, that evil muni stuff sure has the potential to bankrupt a small town.
