PRESENTATION
Comments
on
Personal Telco
and
Public Wireless Internet
in
Portland
by
Russell Senior
<russell at personaltelco.net>
The Personal Telco Project (www.personaltelco.net) is an
all volunteer open source oriented organization that
has been a leader in bringing free wireless internet access
to Portland for many years. Personal Telco has brought
free wireless access to Portland by working with coffee
shops, bars, and other businesses and individuals who
are willing to share their internet connections. Personal
Telco predates Portland's Metro-fi system by several years
and judging by Metro-fi's difficulties it may someday postdate
Metro-fi as well.
Russell Senior has been active with Personal Telco since
the early days. He will discuss the current status of
Personal Telco and describe it's current projects. And
I suspect he will describe Personal Telco's role in the mix
of wireless services in the Portland area.
