What is Wireless Minneapolis?
The City of Minneapolis signed a 10-year contract with US Internet of Minnetonka to provide Minneapolis with cutting-edge broadband technology and become one of the first large cities in the United States to go wireless. When completed, the wireless network will allow the City to serve its citizens more effectively and efficiently than ever, and it will bring a new level of convenience and connectedness to the people who live, work and play in Minneapolis. US Internet will fund, build, and manage a wireless network covering all 59 square miles of Minneapolis, providing residents, businesses, and visitors with wireless broadband access anywhere in the City. The wireless contract also includes a comprehensive set of community benefits that goes far beyond what any other city in the country has negotiated.
