That was the form of some of the earliest attempts at this. Rio Rancho, New Mexico got city-wide wireless in late 2004 available for a subscription fee. To put this in perspective with other major cities' projects, it covers 103 square miles (2/3 of which is empty desert). I believe this was another attempt to fill some of that space.
