Abstract
There exists a growing controversy over whether the government should be in the business of providing wireless broadband Internet. Public sector entities, particularly counties and cities, are developing the physical and intellectual infrastructure designed to provide wireless broadband Internet to their residents. Opponents of government entry into the wireless broadband market argue that existing private broadband vendors are fully capable of providing wireless Internet in an efficient manner. Supporters argue that government is uniquely capable of building and supporting, at least initially, wireless broadband at a lower cost and in a more pluralistic and efficient manner than private vendors have done thus far.
