Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

What seems odd to me about the whole Municipal Wifi discussion is that you never see a large city say "hey let's try this out - let's design an Experi Ment that gives us some information for a relatively small amount of money". I mean, nobody has really completed an UrbAn implementation of this, so I'm really dubious about cost estimates (hardware density required, hardware lifespan, maintenance labor costs) and outcomes (service quality inside concrete homes, usage levels, etc.)
Update: Chris Dent tells me that he never makes use of the Seattle Wa public WiFi because (a) it's often down, and (b) even when up he doesn't get a good signal indoors.
