Story here.
As a side benefit, residents in the area also get free high speed access. A friend of mine lives in the area and has had free 24Mb internet access since they created this.
This is completely funded via private funds, done to promote the area and cost somewhere around $50K.
This is something I hope the town will consider for the new village overlay district or even the gateway area along Rt 12.
Broadband internet access is basic infrastructure in today's world. Wireless allows deployment with little infrastructure investment and maximum flexibility. For instance, 17 times the number of people in the Third World have a cellphone vs a wireline phone. The jump to cellular/wireless technology has allowed somewhat of a leapfrog effect in poorer countries because they are not encumbered by outdated phone lines or expensive to maintain cable or fiber lines.
