Re: Who pays for Muni
So the tax payer takes the risk (seed money) and cedes the profits? Nice way to fund your business, if you can get it. |

I think what happens in the situation he describes it that the town (tax payers) provide seed money to give the WISP the incentive to install the infrastructure. After that the town benefits every time a sales man, or insurance agent, or realtor, or business man, or ... well you get the idea ... every time one of those people decide to have lunch in that town instead of the next town, because access is available in that town. The town (since it taxes retail sales of the restaurants and hotels) then increases it's tax revenues without having to increase it's real estate taxes.
... or something like that ...  |
