Salem, Oregon Considering Wireless Network

Posted Jan 11th 2006 7:00AM by Michael Sciannamea

City council members in Salem, Oregon will be investigating the possibility of developing and deploying a citywide wireless network accessible to residents of the community. Like most other municipalities that are considering the wireless route, they will be choosing a private firm to build the network and will allow that company to receive cash or access to city property to install the necessary equipment. Plans call for users to pay daily and/or monthly fees as well as investigating ways where low-income users can access the network.

As is the case with most of these citywide wireless networks, Salem is hoping that their network will attract business and workers to their community.
