I've had - and continue to have - severe roaming problems on the Cisco Aironet kit, which is why I'm not a fan. Wireless roaming functionality on it, is by admission of Cisco's own senior engineers, a dirty broken hack which is yet to be fixed (though *might* be soon).

I also agree with your point about existing providers. VM have previously stated they are "interested" in providing WiFi in public places but as of yet have no deployments outside of trials that I'm aware of. The Cloud (using Ruckus kit) on the other hand, runs extremely well set up set up simultaneous dual-band 11n (144+300mbps) with beamforming and frankly, are the most advanced APs I'm yet to see on public hotspots.
