A Tale of Two Cities
The Council as an Enabler
The Tale
• A Tale of Two Cities one with Funding and One Without.
• Both secure wireless concessions • One realises free wifi hotspots in community
centres and other does not without the intervention of public funding
• One realises a wider wifi presence in the City without funding the other remains focused on high footfall and will rely on funding to extend
