Paid Citywide Wireless Internet Access

Paid citywide wireless Internet access doesn't have the political resistance that free citywide Internet access does, but it's still not all that common. Most ISPs find that it is more cost effective to wire individual buildings for Internet access than it is to build a comprehensive wireless grid. It is more common for ISPs to provide a combination of wired and wireless ISP services than wireless access alone. Thus you may find that wireless Internet service is available all throughout a city's historic district, but only wired service is available elsewhere. It varies from place to place and ISP to ISP.
