Putting Portland’s Municipal Area Network to the Test

You are welcome, I guess

Willamette Week logoIn today’s Willamette Week, MetroFi is named Rogue of the Week based largely on our recent survey. In the piece, MetroFi’s vice president of operations Lucie Poulicakos calls our report “useful” and promises that corrections are on their way. We are perplexed by the “useful” characterization, given that the information we provide should be easily within their grasp as a simple matter of operating their network. Largely, what took us 35 hours of driving around should be immediately available to them from their network management software.

We hope the promised corrections are better than the ones we’ve seen so far this week, with SE 8th and Division Place finding itself relocated to rural Clackamas County. As for the network itself, the SkyPilot with the dangling power cord was, as of yesterday afternoon, still dangling and still marked on their map as “In service”.

    Oh my, the first concrete evidence that MetroFi still has the ability to get into the field. The emblematic dangling power cord at SE Water and Yamhill has been replugged. Also, on the map, sometime this morning SE 8th and Division Place returned to its natural home in Multnomah County.
