The city of Toledo, Ohio has just issued a RFP for the eventual development and deployment of a citywide wireless network.
According to city officials, the deadline for proposals to be submitted is February 20. Estimates are that the winning bidder will spend about $10 million to hook up the city and will have exclusive rights to the "Wireless Toledo" brand. In addition, the city is requiring that service be free for all local governmental departments as well as emergency personnel.
