Is subscription sales the only way our municipality is going to see a return on our $500,000 [city-owned wireless network]? Not really. We see other benefits. Police on the street longer because they can do their reports from the cars rather than the squad room. More information to our firefighters before they make scene on a possible structure fire. AMR project. Tourist access to city wide internet. These are all hard dollar and soft dollar returns that are real.

seeing the truth
It is time for the state to listen to its people not the paid lobbyists
If the company's that pay the lobyists would use the money to expand their cellular and broadband networks to all and use their money to better customer service,people would not be starting community based networks of any kind.
But no they rather pay to not provide the service,file chapter 11,while asking for stimulus dollars at the same time.
Based on the above I think BT is not the problem but rather the larger telcos / ISPs that pay off the lobyists
