Bye Bye, WiFi? Local Governments Abandoning Network Plans
The assumption was that private service providers could set up networks with minimal financial burden on governments, since there would be plenty of subscribers and advertising would heavily subsidize the cost of service.

However, several early initiatives failed to meet those expectations, making municipal WiFi look like a noble cause without commercial sense. Advertising revenues missed projections, and subscriber numbers were also lower than forecast,
Proponents also say WiFi will still have a role in broadband Internet access even as next-generation wireless technology, such as WiMax, gains momentum. WiMax has a greater range than WiFi and is expected to deliver speeds close to fixed broadband service, but for portable gadgets like mobile phones and digital cameras.
