    8. USA CITIES ON RECORD STATING AN INTEREST IN WIFI © NetLogix 2007 All Rights Reserved
    9. USA CITIES WITH AN OUTDOOR WIFI NETWORK © NetLogix 2007 All Rights Reserved
    10. USA CITIES WITH “AT LEAST 50% CITYWIDE” WIFI COVERAGE © NetLogix 2007 All Rights Reserved
    11. Prevailing Network Ownership Model: PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP By Definition… – Municipality forms a “partnership” with a Service Provider whereby there is give and take on both sides of the agreement. – Typically the Service Provider agrees to fund the network construction and the Municipality grants access at little-to-no cost for the right to install on Municipally-owned properties. – ISPs: EarthLink, MetroFi, MobilePro, Google, Aiirmesh, Citizens/Frontier Internet, US Internet, Embarq, RedMoon Broadband, and many more… – Most Municipalities pursued this model early on…but times have changed. © NetLogix 2007 All Rights Reserved
    12. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE GREAT BIG ELEPHANT IN THE LIVING ROOM! © NetLogix 2007 All Rights Reserved
    13. THE MODEL HAS SHIFTED ► Several ISPs announced their exit from Municipal Wireless. ► This triggered a slew of articles labeling Municipal Wireless as a “failure”. ► They were partly correct, but the stories sure made for great headlines. © NetLogix 2007 All Rights Reserved
    14. WHERE “FAILURES” OCCUR 1. The consumer access model where Internet access is the only application. 2. The lack of ubiquitous coverage by the ISPs. 3. Improperly set expectations. 4. Mounting asset challenges. 5. Inexperienced engineering results in poorly architected network. 6. Lack of an applications plan. © NetLogix 2007 All Rights Reserved
    15. WHAT ARE CITIES GOING TO DO NOW? © NetLogix 2007 All Rights Reserved
    16. MUNICIPALITIES CAN HOPE FOR COMMUNITY WIRELESS NETWORKS TO DEVELOP © NetLogix 2007 All Rights Reserved

    22. THE NEW MODEL 1. “MULTI-USE USE” Networks 2. These are APPLICATIONS-DRIVEN solutions 3. It is NOT A PURE ROI MODEL ► Some applications are difficult to quantify their true cost and benefit ► Some applications do provide an ROI 4. It is an INFRASTRUCTURE MODEL ► The information superhighway is indeed a highway! © NetLogix 2007 All Rights Reserved
