Government Technology magazine just released the results of its Digital Communities survey that charts current public-sector views on wireless and mobile networks. The results highlight a growing awareness of the tremendous potential value of municipal wireless projects, as well as the real-world challenges to realizing this potential.

As well, 77% rated protecting data on the lost, stolen or misplaced devices a top concern.
