If it's really good, why can't the city find someone to take over it at no cost to the city -- just run it? Or why can't the city sell wholesale access, which was the original Wireless Philadelphia plan? Or perhaps move some of the wireless access points to provide excellent coverage and bandwidth in key areas where there are a lot of people using Wi-Fi? There's more to this story and I hate to speculate about it until we get more facts. I wonder just how “good” the infrastructure is.
