"why, exactly, is Philly planning on spending huge piles on WiFi when WiMAX could do it cheaper in around the same time frame it'll take them to actually deploy?"
Is this true? Why will WiMAX be cheaper in an urban setting? When will WiMAX really be available? I think there are some WiMAX skeptics that would disagree. Perhaps a discussion on IP would be illuminating.
