no...muni is muni provided...muni assets, muni employees, muni billed, etc....
public/private venture is different. Leasing city poles/r.o.w. does not make one a muni provider.
MetroFi is not muni wifi. Earthlink in Philly is not muni-fi. Utopia in Utah is not muni broadband really as they can't provide any retail services. Muni infrastructure owner yes, but not muni broadband. Want examples of the real deal, try Thomasville, GA or Kutztown, PA.
This is just a continuing misnomer pushed by an uneducated press. This is as backwards as the FCC calling everything over 200k "broadband." |
