City-wide WiFi Deployment Going Well in Portland, Oregon
Note: Time for me too jump on a train and go test out the speed and wireless coverage area.
In early December 2005, Metro-Fi launched the first phase of its plan to bring free wireless broadband service to Portland, Oregon. Despite concerns that the free system would not be up to par, the first phase went well, and the company has now announced the launch of the second phase of the service.
The Portland Business Journal reports that the four-month phase will expand the service area to over 55,000 residents and 10,000 businesses in the city. Metro-Fi’s goal is to have ninety five percent of the city covered by 2008.
