                                      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.
