Municipal Wireless Proposal for Boston looks hot
I don't know how I missed this news when it was fresh, but back on July 31, Boston's wireless task force recommended a fairly unique all-city wireless network.

From the summary in the task force's report:
The Task Force is concerned that parties may attempt litigation as a way to impede the development of this initiative. The City must prepare for this potentially unfortunate outcome.
Indeed - Verizon and Comcast stand to lose a ton of the money they're now shamelessly squeezing for their substandard service. It may be rough on them, but I think a little competition might be the right thing here.
