There are a wide-variety of applications that would benefit from such

"City-wide" as in greater than a single neighborhood or a few square
city blocks has never been successfully deployed. All the companies
have dropped out, some even being sued by the city.

By the time you see silicon with noise levels at least two magnitudes
better than today, there will be better solutions than wireless.

Considering how line of sight the signal is, is it any wonder why
they have to place an access point on every third utility pole?

Sure...its doable, but who will pay for the millions of dollars to
provide a free service? BTW, the "pay for no advertisement" or "pay
high speeds" model floundered.
