The real test for us will come when Atlanta releases its RFP, which is
widely expected to be won by Earthlink.

What you demonstrated is exactly the message that WISPs need to send
to their community and Munis. That there is benefit to partner with
your local WISP that already has coverage and backbones, instead of
duplicating, competing and interfering with them. No Provider will
want to interfere with their own backbone provider, which incourages a
long term cooperative relationship with the existing WISP partner for
mutual benefit.

Subject: [WISPA] Muni wireless
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.
