The City of Augusta, Ga. plans to build a for-fee metro Wi-Fi network it plans to have in operation by the end of 2008. A Request for Proposal (RFP) within weeks. As the business model is everything, Augusta is using a grant from the state of Georgia worth about $500,000 to build and deploy the Wi-Fi network over a highly-populated area including the downtown business corridor, three colleges and the most-densely-populated parts of the community.
That basically takes care of the network's capital cost. The RFP is to choose an Internet Service Provider to operate, market and maintain the network
The chosen ISP will operate the network and share revenue with Augusta.
