A study of e-government infrastructure through WiFi implementation: strategic pricing to recover costs

As cities saw the need to improve communication capabilities for their employees and to serve economically disadvantaged residents, several US municipalities responded by deploying a citywide WiFi network. Nevertheless, the cost and the price of municipal wireless service is a major factor in the transition to e-government. A problem for municipal wireless providers is competition from commercial broadband providers. The authors surveyed the current status of municipal wireless networks and compared it to the introduction and adoption rate of commercial 3G technologies. Game theory analysis was used to determine an effective and competitive price.
