Tempe City-Wide Wireless Snags

Posted by Zonk on from the contractors-should-be-vetted dept.

Triumph The Insult C writes "About a month ago, the dot carried a story about the city of Tempe, AZ, laying claim to be the first major metropolitan area to provide city-wide broadband internet access. Well, things haven't gone exactly as planned, as one of the companies involved, MobilePro Corp, is now being investigated by the state for not holding the appropriate permits. As a resident of downtown Tempe, I hope the rollout isn't successful, as I would much prefer to see a more community-based effort, such as in Seattle, Austin, and New York City."

    "the dot"? That's not even a good nickname, it's a full 5 characters (counting the space) longer than "/.".
