Delray Beach, Florida looks for Wi-Fi alternatives

Delray Beach, Florida is still looking for alternatives to the Wi-Fi service that E-Path Communications was supposed to have delivered. Two months ago, the city canceled its contract with E-Path after endless delays. E-Path is also the service provider that Nassau and Suffolk counties (NY) hired to deploy a countywide wireless broadband network (probably never going to happen).

This week, the city has organized a special commission workshop to listen to proposals by AccessDelray,  a local non-profit organization that promotes community broadband. The city is not optimistic that anything will happen soon in Delray Beach. It has no funds to commit to a citywide Wi-Fi network.
