Some quotes from the story:
[1]   "Tempe isn't alone in feeling the sting of unfulfilled municipal
Wi-Fi expectations."
[2]   "Tempe's Wi-Fi network had a peak subscriber base of fewer than
800 people, [Dave] Heck
        [Tempe CIO] said."
[3]   "He blamed poor marketing by Kite Networks, which Gobility
acquired last July."
[4]   "[...] the municipal Wi-Fi market isn't dying. [...] But, [...]
"taxpayers have lost so far." "

then [NOTE:] to cut down on ads/clutter, you can click on a link labeled
    "Print Story"
at the bottom (whose href=".." field seems to say
    "javascript:void(0);"
).  The new (very plain) page opened in a new window for me [popup] - not a
new tab. using Firefox (2.0.0.12).
