With its pilot phase complete, Wireless Washtenaw now expects to make all of Washtenaw County wireless by the end of this year.
Wireless Washtenaw and Internet-service-provider 20/20 Communications are now working with local governments across the county to see what needs to be done to establish free wireless Internet access by the end of the year. The county covers 720 square miles and is home to approximately 340,000 people. Oakland and Macomb counties are also pushing forward similar programs this year.
Parts of Ann Arbor, Manchester and Saline were successfully made wireless at the end of last month as part of the pilot phase. Ann Arbor’s section is based in its downtown core, covering parts of streets like Main, State and Liberty.
