[OMS_MANAGERS] FW: Free wifi fiber speeds

[Calvin LeSueur]

The City of Canby partnered with DirectLink (our local rural telecom) to install wifi in 3 city parks last summer. It is great to hear that we are in good company with many of your communities doing the same!

Sincerely,

We had free high speed internet as one of the pieces of our new Streetscape that is almost finished.  It’s also in many of our West Linn Parks.

Our downtown has free WiFi courtesy of Online NW , who brought fiber to town about 4 years ago.

Hi Sheri,
 Not sure you saw this press out of Prineville on our Fiber project for free high speed wifi in Downtown Prineville.

https://ktvz.com/lifestyle/technology/2021/07/12/facebook-donates-225000-for-prineville-connected-free-public-wi-fi-project/#:~:text=PRINEVILLE%2C%20Ore.,internet%20connectivity%20across%20the%20city.

We were talking and I was looking into if there are other towns that offer any free high speed wifi like this anywhere in Oregon? I see that Eugene and Hillsboro have fiber to the downtown and offer a service to buy, I don’t see where it is free.

I was curious if you are aware?

Bryan Iverson

Thanks!
