Matt,
I have helped several cities in the past to both evaluate muni RFPs and
to correct already-deployed muni network projects. One challenge to
overcome is budgetary; as a business (14 years in the broadband wireless
business) I charge for my consulting time after the initial
information-gathering discussion. Sometimes cities expect assistance for
free. In many of these situations, they get advice that's worth exactly
what they pay. That having been said, if you know of a muni that needs
some help, please feel free to give them my contact information. I would
be glad to speak with them regarding their situation and to offer
assistance.

All,
I have been hearing reports about problems at the various muni wireless
network deployments. More recently, I have heard a number of local hams
have been contacted by recruiters looking for help with problem muni
wireless networks. Has anyone on the list been contacted? Seems like
local WISPs may be best suited to help, but also likely the least
willing to help. I know I am having hard time even getting folks to pay
attention to us in regard to the Atlanta RFP.
