Milwaukee's Wi-Fi Project Won't Be Expanded

Link to June 23 JS Online article, "Wi-Fi is a no-go for now".

Excerpt: Launched in 2006, the ambitious plan would have made Milwaukee one of the nation's first large cities with wall-to-wall Wi-Fi service. It would give the city a tech-savvy image and also could provide free or low-cost Internet access to neighborhoods that need it the most.

Same bad news for Portland, Oregon.

Minneapolis, on the other hand, seems to be the only Wi-Fi success story right now, although this success does not seem to extend to the suburb of St. Louis Park. And then there's those darn leaves on the trees in the City of Lakes.
