In the fight over whether towns and cities should be allowed to have their own Wi-Fi networks, Microsoft has clearly come down on the pro side. The company has conducted several market studies about municipal Wi-Fi, and has found, in the words of Stefan Weitz, director of planning for MSN at Microsoft, that there is “significant demand for free municipal Wi-Fi. There is widespread adoption potential.”

Weitz said that there are some problems with municipal Wi-Fi, such as poor indoor coverage. And he warned that some applications could suck up too much of a municipal Wi-Fi network’s bandwidth, such as VoIP and instant messaging.
