Citywide Wi-Fi spending could hit $3 billion

More than $3 billion will be spent during the next four years to build and operate public wireless networks for U.S. municipalities, according to a new research report by the web site MuniWireless.com.
Interest among U.S. cities and counties to deploy their own public wireless networks is exceeding earlier expectations, said Esme Vos, the founder of the Web site MuniWireless.com, which tracks the muni-wireless market.
