In the last few weeks, I’ve seen bids that range from wireless municipal specifications from 8 years ago to the desire to reach for the outer limits.

At that time, the French telecoms regulator, ARCEP, revealed that “out of the 3562 locations that should have been covered with WiMAX service by 30 June 2008, only 657 were connected as of 31 December [...]
The government of Malaysia is deploying Wi-Fi in up to 4000 villages in Perlis, Sabah and Sarawak by the end of 2012 to bring broadband to the more remote parts of the country. The cost of deploying Wi-Fi in each village is between US$7,000 and US$10,000. The Malaysian government wants to upgrade the high tech [...]
Govtech reports that “Seattle is thinking about leasing some of the city’s 500 miles of unused dark fiber to private companies, hoping that ultra-fast broadband connections will result.” (italics are mine). The most important word in that sentence is “hoping”. Why? Because getting each home and business in Seattle to have access to fiber optic [...]
