Esme Vos of MuniWireless.com has put together a nice list of the cities and counties that have already or are planning to deploy wireless networks so far this year. It's a pretty impressive list and it spans every corner of the U.S.
The list is broken down into 5 categories:
- City or countywide wireless broadband networks in operation for public access and municipal use
- City hotzones
- City or county networks for municipal use only
- Planned deployments where an RFI or RFP has been issued or where a network is being deployed
- Cities and counties that are considering WANs
What also is interesting that there are a growing number of vendors/ISPs getting into the citywide wireless game, so that can only benefit the municipalities who are searching for a company to partner with and will not be limited by just a few players.
