What Wikipedia says...

I searched Wikipedia for "municipal broadband" and found that they included (what it seems) like the questions posed in our class. They answer questions about:

- Philadelphia, Silicon Valley and San Francisco
- Pros and Cons of Muni
a) different arguments such as time constraints
b) typical people who would usually oppose/support broadband
- definition of municipal broadband

You can find the Wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipal_broadband

Yet the article specifically says it lacks international discussion on the topic.
This may include:
- the implementation in international cities (political and economic)
- problems/successes with foreign systems

I definitely think we could focus on this international subject. In addition, we could focus on the major hubs/cities that would most likely have muni broadband...which happen to be linked on this site (search terms = municipal wireless network):

The list includes cities ranging from Singapore to Hong Kong. We could look at local news articles that reported on these tech advances or search through the companies that these cities used to implement broadband (which are also listed on the site.)

These guys also list some general problems and financial costs.

We'll have to dig a little harder, but I think we can do it.
