A debate over Municipal Broadband:
Prof. Hazlett interviewed on the Kojo Nnamdi Show, July 15, 2008, "The Future of Municipal Broadband," WAMU 88.5 FM, Washington D.C.
From the WAMU Web site:
Across America, big cities and small towns are experimenting with municipal broadband projects. Some provide free service in select hot spots; others tried massive build-outs of wireless networks citywide. Join Kojo to examine what's been done locally, why some have failed, some have succeeded, and what might best be seen as sound municipal broadband policy.
