I did look at the budget for the project. However, without an anchor
customer the business plan doesn't look too hot. Personally, I doubt
Earthlink can even afford to do it. Then again, they probably can't
afford to not do it. I'd hate to be a shareholder.

Matt, I understand your frustration. Did you spend the time to try and
figure out what the cost would be for the Atlanta build out? Today most
Muni's want someone to build and maintain on the service provider's dollar
which puts larger projects beyond most wisp budgets. Brad

It helps you because you get to be the muni wireless company rather
than a new player who may infringe upon your market share.
Even if we did do a deal with the city that wouldn't stop a new player
from entering the market. Again, without something of value provided by
the city there is no reason to do the deal.
