Here's another piece on Portland's ambitions to be the most unwired city: The author writes that Portland earned the distinction of being the city with the most hotspots "by chance," because the hotspots were built by the community driven Personal Telco Project.
I’d give the Personal Telco folks more credit. The fact that they drove the efforts that made the city the most unwired, versus some big corporation, is pretty cool. Regardless, it’s great that the city government of Portland is fostering Wi-Fi development there as a means for attracting businesses. [via Nigel Ballard]
