Minneapolis WiFi Rollout Schedule

By Ed Kohler | May 5, 2007



The Star Tribune has published US Internet’s rollout schedule for city-wide WiFi. It’s already in place along Franklin in Seward. Here are a few dates I thought were interesting:

Wi-fi Rollout In Minneapolis

June 5: All of downtown

June 27: Longfellow/Powderhorn/Phillips

Nov. 2: Nokomis

Maybe Nathan’s close enough to Longfellow to grab a signal before November?

Are you considering switching over to this? From what I’ve heard about the service, I’m not at this point. It costs about 1/2 of what I spend with Comcast for cable ISP, but also has lower speeds. The flexibility of accessing the network from anywhere in the city isn’t a particularly big sell for me since there are so many places with free access outside of my home already.

    My coffee loving girlfriend and I are moving to seward at the end of the month. I am totally looking into this. I would love nothing more than telling Qwest and Comcast to take a hike. Hopefully the signal won’t suck.
