I live in Sunnyvale, CA - The Center of the Chip. (Where computing as you know it, began) And while living here most recently I was able to make use of the Metro-Fi Free network at a cost of $0.00. It wasn't a screaming connection like fiber, but it ranked up there with dsl and cable in its speed; the price, obviously couldn't be beat. Recently the company sold out, or petered out per say and now we no longer have this service here. I am seriously bummed. Tell you what: As a recently service disabled Combat Veteran (2007) and having been computing since the 70's here at HP corporate at the age of 7, and as acting founder of http://www.Intrawork.com founded in 1995, I KNOW that I could critically affect the speed of success for the Muni Wireless strategy. My model for success is close to that which actually failed metro-fi's endeavors, however, I am not only confident on a nationally based success in my strategy but also a guaranteed positive income from day one if I were to be asked to assist. Preliminary number crunching actually shows that my strategy would entail bringing in great sums of funding from the system itself. The only thing that I would ask in return would be that a certain percentage of the net income from day one go towards feeding, clothing and housing those who are worse off then ourselves; an accredited and honest group would benefit as well as many, many people. Lowly, I also understand that in this world may it be, that all to often people like me and ideas like this do not find fruition; perhaps its my lack of royal bloodline, I dunno. Contact me if you are in the position to assist here, are serious and interested. Scott I am at a loss of words but not emotions. I live in Sunnyvale, CA – The Center of the Chip.

The "Austin Wireless Mesh Network" does cover a significant part of downtown and East Austin. It is a free amenity network. It is, however, run at low power, so it tends not to penetrate buildings. http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/help/mesh/default.htm Does Austin, TX fall into your criteria for a city hotzone?
