I think that the city should offer minimal service / support, and that there is opportunity for small or other businesses to buy and resell capacity wholesale, including a more full service install process. Local power monopolies in many areas, at least, have to provide options for alternate power sources. Existing regulated telco monopolies have to let other providers use their infrastructure. I think municipalities should be able to play that role, or to deem it a function of the city / county and contract out for it, letting private players compete in a market with a guaranteed baseline service.
