WiFi IS NOWAVAILABLE IN MANY DEVICES


…AND IS EMERGING IN MORE PRACTICAL DEVICES!


USA CITIES ON RECORD STATING AN INTEREST IN WIFI


USA CITIES WITH AN OUTDOOR WIFI NETWORK


USA CITIES WITH “AT LEAST 50% CITYWIDE”

WIFI COVERAGESome are Public Safety only!


HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS NETWORK?

THE BIG QUESTION...

Prevailing Network Ownership Model:PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP

By Definition…– Municipality forms a “partnership” with a Service Provider whereby there

is give and take on both sides of the agreement. – Typically the Service Provider agrees to fund the network construction

and the Municipality grants access at little-to-no cost for the right to install on Municipally-owned properties.

– ISPs: EarthLink, MetroFi, MobilePro, Google, Aiirmesh, Citizens/Frontier Internet, US Internet, Embarq, RedMoon Broadband, and many more…

– Most Municipalities pursued this model early on…but times have changed.


LET’S TALK ABOUT THE GREAT BIG ELEPHANT IN THE LIVING ROOM!


THE “WiFi MODEL” SHIFTED

► Several ISPs announced their exit from Municipal Wireless.

► This triggered a slew of articles labeling Municipal Wireless as a “failure”.

► They were partly correct, but the stories sure made for great headlines!


WHERE “FAILURES” OCCUR1. The consumer access model where Internet access

is the only application.2. The lack of ubiquitous coverage by the ISPs.3. Improperly set expectations.4. Mounting asset challenges.5. Inexperienced engineering results in poorly

architected network.6. Lack of industry cooperation.7. Applications vendors produce closed architecture

systems.8. Lack of an applications plan.

IS PRIVATE INVESTMENT DEAD?

MUNICIPALITIES WILL NEED TO DEVELOP A PLAN FOR APPLICATIONS

REGARDLESS OF TECHNOLOGY...


THE NEW MODEL1. “MULTI-USE” Networks2. These are APPLICATIONS-DRIVEN solutions3. It is NOT A PURE ROI MODEL

► Some applications are difficult to quantify their true cost and benefit

► Some applications do provide an ROI

4. It is an INFRASTRUCTURE MODEL► The information superhighway is indeed a

highway!

5. Start small – be smart – PILOT Networks!!!
