Nothing truly ground-breaking in this article on muni-voip, but I could not help but notice that "Kenya and Macedonia are currently operating multi-city or national wireless mesh broadband networks". I hope the San Francisco board of supervisors can soon travel to Macedonia for a crash course on how to get things done.

Also interesting: "Municipal networks are running in cities as diverse as Cittagong, Bangladesh; Moscow, Russia; and Taipei, Taiwan. The Beijing public security bureau is deploying a network in preparation for the 2008 Olympics, with an emphasis on video surveillance. U.S. cities where the technology is in use include Anaheim, Mountain View, and Pasadena, Calif.; Chandler, Gilbert, and Tempe, Ariz.; Philadelphia, Pa.; and Corpus Christi, Texas.".
