MetroFi schedules Portland shutoff for June 30

Posted by Russell Senior on 20 June 2008

The Portland Business Journal, Associated Press and the Oregonian are reporting that, according to officials at the City of Portland, MetroFi plans to turn off their Portland network on June 30th. The equipment is to be removed during the month of July.

Meanwhile, the Personal Telco Project is reminding people that there are still an amazing number of wifi networks in Portland (about 100 times what MetroFi was ever going to deploy), and that ordinary citizens and businesses can help make ubiquitous free wifi a reality by participating in its provision.
