I’d be surprised if anyone bids on this without limitations.

I find it amazing that these cities expect so much from wireless deployment when other services are charged for.

Imagine a city where the minimum electric is free or subsidised. Where water, sewage, and gas are free. Ask yourself, why do the wireless providers get dumped on? What about all the other costs in the city. What makes internet access so special that it becomes FREE.

Ironically, the existing telcos that provide service get a free ride. Guess these companies must be smarter not to give away service for free.
