Resisting Municipal Broadband is Futile

[SOURCE: visiongain press release]
There are over 400 cities worldwide planning to deploy municipal broadband networks and the number will double in 2006, making community broadband initiatives a very real and significant trend. That is the finding of the latest report, "Municipal Broadband Networks: Market impact and implications, 2006-2011", published by industry research firm visiongain. Despite legal opposition and intense lobbying from incumbent telcos and cable companies, municipal broadband is coming and is here to stay. As of Q1 2006, there are over 100 city and regional wireless broadband networks operational worldwide, more than 40 of which are in the US.
