headlines back in 2004 as the first hot spot offering city-wide Wi-Fi. The area had big plans, including county-wide Wi-Fi that would give high-speed internet access to all people rural and urban throughout the entire county. Back then, it seemed feasible to complete the plan by the end of 2007 but
now the county has to admit that its not going to happen. Broadbreeze Communications, the company providing the technology for the project, underwent some sales and the county needs to look elsewhere to get the work done. Currently, the report is that the best case scenario would be involvement by Clearwire which would put the plan only eighteen months behind schedule.
