Craig Settles, noted Muni-wireless pundit has released a study of proposed muni-wifiinstallations and has found that very few realize that at the end of the day, someone has to pay. Touting it at a 'free network' is just plain wrong as it eventually becomes a bait and switch with residents and constituents. Politicians think in myopic 2 to 4 year cycles, they are concerned with the ribbon cutting and looking caring. They know nothing of the people behind the scenes and what they have to go through to make thier proposals reality.
