Dave,

You may recall your visit to Wellington, NZ, and may have
heard of CityLink at that time.  It seems our best kept
secret has been discovered:

"Normally LANs are used by a single organization at best,
but Wellington's 13-square-mile LAN comprises many of the
city's businesses. The city council garnered a UNESCO
Digital Access Award in recognition of its achievement in
installing the 1,000 Mbps network."
