With all the discussion about the Wireless Philadelphia project over the last year and change, it
was inevitable that someone would actually write a book about the entire process. Craig Settles, a marketing
consultant, has self-published "Fighting the Good Fight for Municipal Wireless: Applying Lessons From
Philadelphia's WiFi Story" through Hudson House Publishing. According to the publishers, the book functions
as a roadmap for using municipal wireless and mobile workforce applications to cut costs and run a better, more
responsive government operation.
The book describes how the initiative made its way through the system and features interviews with some of the major players involved with the effort. It also aims to serve as a guide for other municipalities to leverage when considering citywide wireless networks.
I've put in a request to Hudson House for a review copy and hope to have a positive response from them very soon.
If I can get my hands on the book, I will post a review as soon as possible.
