Muni Wireless reports that Nevada, Missouri, a town of 10,000 has commissioned a Wi-Fi network to be built in town, according to the Miami Herald. NeighborLink is building the network for the city for approximately $25,000. Subscribers will pay $35 to $120 per month for Internet access, but they first have to pay for the installation and equipment which ranges from $50 to $300.
NeighborLink President Darrell Gentry says, although Nevada’s city and business leaders are excited about the service, only about 60 people have signed up so far, adding that the company hasn’t done any advertising. Subscribers also generally don’t take advantage of their ability to sit in town square with a laptop, blazing through the Internet at high speeds, although Gentry said they could.
