William e-mails us this article in the Miami Herald that explores Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez's plans to build a $75 million, 2,000-square-mile wireless broadband network. "Sometimes I wake up at three o'clock in the morning and say, `How the heck am I going to do this thing?'" says Ira Feuer, the mayor's top technology advisor and project architect. An incumbent lobbied state law prevents the county from owning the network unless they give the service away for free, but that's not plausible given the county size. Instead, Alvarez wants to create a nonprofit corporation to oversee the project, which he promises won't use taxpayer money.
