Eyeballs, Start Your Wallets!
Portland’s Future Awesome tells me that there’s an article in Theo today which reports that MetroFi’s test network will go live next Tuesday.
Get ready for the one-inch banner ads, the Micro$oft portal, and the slow drowning out of Portland’s own Personal Telco Project.

I don’t think that PTP is doomed. For one thing, as a non-profit organization, they aren’t really competing in this market are they? Also, there is a lot of this city to cover, and the MetroFi signal isn’t going to be able to have perfect coverage everywhere. PTP is smart about where they set up shop, choosing to unwire locations where people are likely to actually use the service, as opposed to offering a blanket of coverage over the entire city.
It seems like PTP can plug the holes of MetroFi and still be an integral part of Portland’s future (awesome).
