Wireless broadband initiatives for cities are receiving significant attention today. However, while some major cities have already announced citywide wireless networks, the market for municipal wireless broadband is still in the early stages. Most of these large networks will almost certainly experience numerous changes before they are fully deployed. Most of the existing municipal wireless net...

Grounded theory is the most rigorous method of providing preliminary research in an area where research is scarce. Using grounded theory, this paper explores the extent to a recent government initiative failed to achieve its goal. Specifically, the study explored the role of U.S. municipal wireless broadband networks (Mu-Fi) in bridging the so-called “digital divide.” Grounded theory was useful...

This study aims to quantify water appropriation and the potential production of algal bio-oil using freshwater and municipal wastewater effluent (MWW) as an alternative water resource. The county-level analysis focuses on open-pond algae cultivation systems located in 17 states in the southern United States. Several scenarios were developed to examine the water availability for algae bio-oil pr...

This paper proposes a discussion concerning the use of social media-related geographic information in the context of the strategic environmental assessment (SEA) of Sardinian Municipal masterplans (MMPs). We show that this kind of information improves, substantially, the SEA process since it provides planners, evaluators, and the local communities with information retrieved from social media th...

Many U.S. metro cities’ municipal wireless projects have been delayed or canceled. Cost forecasting, market penetration rates, and changing technologies are factors that contribute launch failure. Although larger cities have tried, smaller towns are more successful due to the lack of commercial competition. This paper takes the issues of price, cost, and market share of WiFi municipal wireless ...
