Wifi Contract Approved
As a follow up to my post about the city of Minneapolis selecting a citywide wifi provider, they have approved the contract from US Internet.
“A citywide wireless network was approved Friday by the Minneapolis City Council, setting the stage for portable and affordable high-speed Internet service anywhere in the city by late next year.”
This result was never really in doubt, the contract was approved by a 12-1 margin, but it’s cool to know that everything is in motion to have it up and running by the end of the year.
It’s also nice to know that a company is doing the work rather than a new government agency, I think US Internet will provide better service than a government group would be able to, knowing that their profit depends on them executing.
