Courtesy of Mike at TechDirt, the city of Lompoc, CA, once a touted example of the benefits of muni-broadband, is coping with mysterious problems with its Wi-Fi service. The service was supposed to be launched on January 17, but signal strength issues and downtime glitches have forced the city to postpone the launch indefinitely.
As Mike points out, while muni-broadband does make sense in a lot of situations, Wi-Fi, which is a local technology never intended for wide-area use, may not be the best system for municipalities to embrace.
