A smack in the chops !

We're waiting for David Israel to start up with his WIFI ambitions again now that the cable contract is a done deal. Experience has shown that he just keeps bringing it back even though the village says they don't want it.
If you look at the way this new cable contract was handled it's apparent that negotiations started right after the defeat of Israel's WIFI scheme at the delegates assembly, where they overwhelmingly turned it down.
The bid for a cable contract that included MANDATORY WIFI for everyone started 2 years ago. it doesn't make a lot of sense when we still had about four years to go on the existing contract.A lot of people see it as a sneaky end run to get WIFI despite all the opposition.  Stifling the mandatory wifi bid that was included in the original Atlantic proposal is a small victory for the residents. and a big smack in the chops to Israel. It's more probable than not that WIFI will be back under a new name or something.  There's still a "Broadband Committee" in place and no doubt they'll be at it again.
If Israel continues to keep pushing his dream of wifi for all, then another smack in the chops should be delivered at the next election.
