Is "Wi-Fi" Coming to Richfield?

The Richfield City Council made 'Wi-Fi' a priority in 2007.  Nothing formal has been approved yet.

For Wi-Fi to become a reality, Richfield must first reach an agreement with a vendor.  The second part of the process will involve setting up the infrastructure needed to bring Wi-Fi into Richfield households.  Richfield's existing infrastructure and simple geography should make this process go quickly.

More details will be posted as they become available.

What is Minneapolis Doing?

In Minneapolis, a vendor is working on building a wireless network covering all 59 square miles of Minneapolis, providing residents, businesses, and visitors with wireless broadband access anywhere in the City. According to the City of Minneapolis, the wireless contract also includes a comprehensive set of community benefits that goes far beyond what any other city in the country has negotiated.
