The firm previously had language in the contract that expressed more of a statement of intent that cities would buy wireless services, but didn’t require them. “We’re making that a stronger part of our RFP requirement,” van Haaften said. “We still build the network for free, but there is a requirement that there is a certain amount of services bought by from us by city departments.”" * [[http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/beaconnews/news/318576,2_1_AU29_WIFI_S1.article|Free Wi-Fi plans pulled in Tri-Cities]] "Business model change: Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles cannot get same Internet service offered by MetroFi in Aurora" * [[http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/beaconnews/news/539094,2_1_AU02_WIFI_S1.article|City disappointed in pace of Wi-Fi network setup]] ----
