Recently, people in Minneapolis have reported slow or fading city wi fi service. The reason seems to be the coming of summer and the emergence of tree leaves:

“…The re-emergence of leaves this spring has caused network delays and slower-than-expected download speeds in parts of the citywide network. But the problem is being fixed with antenna adjustments that should be completed by mid-June, said US Internet, the Minnetonka firm that built and is operating the Wi-Fi network.”

In the age of technology, Mother Nature still has a say. According to local technicians this is also a concern for small networks, like the university campus. The solution there is that the classes are in the fall and the campus population is small during the ‘leaf and shrubbery’ season. Few complaints means no fix.
