Re: The problem is...

I think that if you surveyed people in Chaska the majority would be rather ho-hum about the whole thing. That doesn't mean I don't think it's not a good idea (it appears to be being financed entirely through user fee income, although that water bill tie-in is troublesome). Just that a minority of folks give a crap about high speed access. Most don't even know what "speed" they're getting.

They seem to be getting a lot of fixed installations, which is good. The roaming-with-your-laptop aspect is fluff. Their coverage map shows very spotty hotspot availability.
