> Municipal broadband (wifi) is inevitable. As long as cell networks implement data caps, maybe. But I don't see why municipal wifi is inherently inevitable (or even desirable). New York is starting to roll out combination charging/wifi stations across the city, and I think they're horrible for a whole number of reasons. But the biggest thing is that public wifi isn't really any better in terms of bandwidth or latency than mobile networks to begin with - the only real advantage they have is that they bypass data caps[0].
