Missouri's St. Louis County, which (of course) includes the city of St. Louis, is considering a wireless network that would cover the entire 524-square-mile area.
As of now, the St. Louis Economic Development Collaborative is working with NetLabs of St. Louis to study what the needs of the county are, as well as how much it would cost to develop and deploy a wireless network.
Those involved with the project so far say that a network can potentially bring economic opportunities to the area and will bridge the digital divide. It all depends on the results of the study and how government leaders will interpret it.

1. Actually, St. Louis County does not include the City of St. Louis. The City of St. Louis is a separate county from the mostly suburban St. Louis County. Clear as mud now, right?
