The Yuma Sun reports a local business is up in arms over MobilePro contract for metro-scale service: Beamspeed, a local wireless ISP, believes it could offer the same services. It's handled police and fire communications for 20 years, and never heard about a bidding process for the Wi-Fi service. Yuma used a contract from Tempe that allows the city to gain the same terms without negotiation. Beamspeed currently handles 1,200 US customers and 400 to 500 in Mexico.
The city may open the process to bidding which will add some months to the rollout.
