Boing Boing: Fake "neutral" report against municipal WiFi revealed for a 
sham
http://www.boingboing.net/2005/02/04/fake_neutral_report_.html

" A recent "independent" report did a hatchet job on municipal wireless 
networks, damning them as an expensive failure. Glenn Fleishman took the 
report to pieces in a series of long blog-posts, exposing its shoddy 
methodology and dubious provenance. Now he reports that the organization 
that produced it, the New Millennium Research Council, is a front for 
the telecoms lobby.

I've been following what's been going on with municipal wireless in Philadelphia and other cities, and want to look at public hotspots, muni programs like Carrboro's, etc, and all the social potential of the different projects happening around here.
