I am hoping we can push community involvement too.. the city of 
minneapolis wants <monopoly of their choice> to install the 
infrastructure.  The reason for this is because they both got burned by 
richocet and their rusting hardware.  Hopefuly we can avoid this with St. 
Paul.  Unfortunately, several named monopolies, mostly comcast and qwest 
both scream "BUT OUR JOBS" when people talk about city-wide wifi.. but 
neither are smart enough to attempt doing it themselvs.
