Persuading A City To Go Wireless?

An anonymous reader submits "We keep reading about cities dishing out free wireless; Philadelphia, San Francisco, Austin, TX, and many, many others. But how does one go about forming a group to get their city to go wireless? Looking around, there are a few articles out there, but most deal with selling it to businesses. I haven't been able to find a definitive guide to "Getting your city to go wireless". So I send my plea out to the Slashdot community - just how does one go about getting your city to go wireless?"

    If I remember correctly, and indiidual known as the Blue Fairy is rather good at removing wires from things.

    Actually, that's not too far off. I was once persuaded to make a fairly sizeable IT asset purchase from a large hardware vendor by allowing the female saleswoman to suck the old pointy warrior. The best part is that I promised her I would let her know when I was close to climax so she could finish with her hand. Well, I did no such thing. Instead I fired a fairly substantial bit of goo right in her mouth. She gagged and backed up and then I nailed her on the cheek with the next bit. Careers in IT can be very rewarding.

    Citys tend to be fairly beurcratic
    So they differ from cities (or their governments) which are usually bureacratic.
