Hello John,
MikroTik is currently developing the biggest feature of mesh -- easy to
install systems (no configuration required) that have a radio (or more) for
local and a radio (or more) for backbone. This will enable WISP to compete
better with the expensive Strix and other MESH systems. You will hear more
about this at the MikroTik user meeting in Dallas - mum.mikrotik.com .

Munis are just your hometown wanting service just like residents, business
and education. As soon as we learn this we will all benefit from it
greatly. Public safety specifically is the killer application of muni
broadband in my opinion. If we all learn how to sell this to our towns and
service it correctly we will inevitably win in the end. Backhaul to munis
who decide to go it alone is also an option. I would bet most if not all
of them would pay for a service agreement on their networks also. Maybe
they will pay you to build their network for them?

I personally don't much care for Muni wireless as I would rather the
government stay out of the ISP business. With that being said, Rome, GA
announced that GTS had won the the contract to install a wireless system
for the city. See http://muniwireless.com/municipal/bids/1102/ for
details on the announcement.
What I thought the list might find interesting is that we (AirInfinite,
now One Ring Networks) were included in GTS's bid and will now be
providing backhaul for the wireless network. I believe this is an
interesting approach for WISPs to take when dealing with munis that have
an interest in wireless.
