The PTP Mission

To promote and build public wireless networks through community support and education. Personal Telco is a grass roots effort to build an Internet-connected wireless network in Portland, Oregon. By deploying our own wireless access points, and providing the tools and support for others to do so, we are fostering the global growth of city-wide networks which are open to, and maintained by the public.

The PTP History

PTP was formed in August 2000 by a few friends interested in the budding wireless ethernet technologies and has since grown into one of the world's leading Wi-Fi community groups.

Our flagship node, overlooking Pioneer Courthouse Square serves Internet users everyday, and has been providing free Wi-Fi since March 2002, longer than the Starbucks/T-mobile in the Square. In fact, when Intel showcased Wi-Fi technology last summer, the PTP node had at least 3 times as many users as the free-for-a-day T-Mobile node in PCS. This highlights both the easy of use, and ubiquity of PTP nodes.

Who We Are

Personal Telco members are your neighbors, your customers and your friends. Our community is vast and all-inclusive. Our members range from computer experts who are proud to be called "geek," to business professionals who call IT everytime they need to print. We are teenagers and grandparents. Anyone interested in free wireless access for the public is welcome in PTP. This is something we are passionate about, and we are always eager to share that passion.
