Colorado Cities Looking to Create Giant Wireless Broadband Network

The Broomfield, Colorado city council voted to hire consulting firm Civitium to do a feasibility study on creating a citywide wireless broadband network. Philadephia and San Francisco retained Civitium for their wireless projects. Broomfield wants to cooperate with other communities in the area -- Arvada, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Westminster, Thornton and Boulder -- to build a much larger network. Arvada, Boulder and Lakewood have already retained Civitium to advise them on deploying such a network.
