According to muniwireless.com, Wi-Fi systems have been deployed in nearly 60 U.S. cities and the goal is to add another 120 to the number. One of these cities is Chaska in Minnesota. Although considered a success by the Wi-Fi tracker website, Chaska's network had suffered problems like slow speeds and dead connections. Roberta Wiggins, a wireless analyst at tech research firm Yankee Group, expects more challenges for cities that are bigger than Chaska, which is home to just 8,000 households. Wiggins said: "It's much easier to implement Wi-Fi technology in a smaller site. It hasn't yet been proven in a really large area."
