WiFi a Serious Technology in the Broadband Mix?

[Commentary] Money may or may not be the root of all evil, but it is certainly the tail threatening to wag the dog for many communities' broadband planning teams. At the California Emerging Technology Fund's Rural Connections workshop last week, a number of people representing communities expressed concern they can't move broadband forward until they can find money. Make no mistake; you can't build a network without a passel of dead presidents to fund it. But you can mitigate the money hurdles you face, particularly if you don't put extra ones in your way.
