Some details about the city-wide network:
-US Internet holds the contract;
- initially we can buy speeds of 1 million bits per second for $19.95 a month;
-US Internet will send a mailing to prospective customers, which will include an url where we can go to sign up for a $10 discount for the first month.

If you pre-register US Internet will contact you when the service becomes available in your area.

Thanks to David Foureyes for the heads up!
