'''10 March 2002 - Personal Telco Unwires First Hostel with help from Intel''' Personal Telco, the community wireless group in Portland Oregon has today turned on another high-profile 802.11b free public access node thanks to a generous donation by Intel. This is the first hostel in the USA, possibly the world to have free high-speed broadband wireless. Personal Telco volunteers have just completed their latest install at the Portland Hostel on Hawthorne Boulevard which is part of Hostelling International. Guests can now surf the web at high speed without wires from anywhere in the building, even out in the garden. The hostel has a stock of 802.11b wireless cards to loan residents. '''7 March 2002 - Another ISP Joins the Crew''' WilCooley announced on the MailingList today that [http://www.qcsn.com/personaltelcoproject.html QCSN] will endorse the sharing of their DSL connections by Personal Telco nodes. They only serve Verizon turf but if you're looking for a community network friendly ISP go check them out! |
