Computer users in seven cities will be able to unplug their equipment and still
access the Internet — for free — when Wireless Oakland comes to their towns with
a target start-up time in March, 2006.

In Royal Oak, the service first will be offered in the area bounded by Woodward
Avenue, I-696, I-75 and 12 Mile Road and then branch out to the rest of city,
according to Interim City Attorney David Gillam.

Royal Oak is one of seven pilot cities along with Troy, Madison Heights, Oak
Park, Birmingham, Pontiac and Wixom. Eventually, all 910 square miles of Oakland
County will go wireless.
