Carol Ellison files this thoughtful article at MuniWireless on Cleveland's approach to city-wide Wi-Fi: She notes that despite having five responses from an RFP issued in April, the mayor is saying that the city won't be an anchor tenant. She tried to get clarification as to what the "phased approach" the mayor was pushing meant, and wasn't given additional information. She thinks that the lily-pad approach engaged in by a non-profit in Cleveland might be the model in mind; hotzones, not a city-wide network to start with. She notes that MetroFi and EarthLink both responded to the RFP.
