Read the online version of this newsletter.

NCLGISA:

 

            Good morning.  Per the attached report from Muniwireless.com, to the best of my review, it notes there were no City’s or County’s in NC which were considering or had completed a broadband wireless implementation.  Is this indeed the case?  Thanks for the feedback.

 

Respectfully,

"Vic"

Week 31 of 2005 issue no. 98

Muniwireless.com
reports on municipal wireless and broadband projects

Dear Stanley Victrum,

My Second Anniversary Report is finally out! Unofficially called the July 2005 Report, it's an update of the March 2005 Report and contains the latest (as of July) on municipal and county deployments. What's new? The number of cities and counties issuing RFPs has gone up dramatically and I know many more who are about to do the same (but I am sworn to secrecy).

In case you have not noticed, I have two new editors posting on Muniwireless. Sascha Meinrath of the Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network (CUWIN) will be posting articles in the Community section; Dewayne Hendricks of the Dandin Group in Fremont, California will be posting in the Technology section. I have known Sascha and Dewayne for some time now and they have been valuable, although silent, contributors to Muniwireless. So I decided to make them less silent. In fact, they already started posting this week.
