Cellphone companies also have the infrastructure already in place to "sort of do this" via cell towers. You are suggesting that the CDDs put yet another set of infrastructure in place? I don't see it happening.

I understand, but wanted to throw it out there conceptually. But, as more and more television content is provided over the Internet, it's only a matter of time before cable TV/dish go away and the only thing you have coming into your home is Internet. Just think if ESPN decided to provide all content over the Internet, even with a subscription, it would be a huge blow to the cable providers. I think the future is ala carte television channels provided soley through the internet. At that point, I could see residents pushing for a muni Wi-Fi system. IMO the CCD's generally provide excellent service for a very reasonable price. Why can't that include Internet.
