The town of Hermosa Beach, California has joined the growing ranks of municipalities that offer Wi-Fi services. The city council unanimously approved on Tuesday a non-exclusive, renewable five-year franchise with the owner of Treyspan Inc. that calls for the delivery of subscription Wi-Fi services citywide.
The franchise requires Treyspan to pay 5% of its gross revenues in franchise fees (a new development to me — does anyone else know of Wi-Fi operators paying cities franchise fees?) plus $60 per year, per attachment for attaching their facilities to city-owned poles or buildings. The price of the service ranges from $20 to $60 per month, depending on the package.
