Re: Foresight ?

The one in Minneapolis hasn't made the front page of DSLR (yet).

I don't know if it's profitable, but it is still up and running.

Not really needed

Portland is well-served for broadband by Comcast and Qwest (which does very good job of deploying basic DSL in its territory, in comparision to someone like Verizon, which has done only selective deployments in their territory).

'not sure what "problem" this Metro Wi-FI was intended to solve. In contrast, in Hermiston, Oregon, the Wi-Fi deployed is very popular, as there is no commercial alternative.

Tell that to my mom who lives in a very busy part of SE Portland but who can't get DSL. Hell, I can barely get it (I'm right on the edge).

And Comcast's prices are nuts.
