Two finalists. No information about the proposals. Still no public
meetings.

"Minneapolis has chosen two finalists for its citywide Wi-Fi project:
Earthlink and US Internet (a local ISP). The city will ask each
finalist to set up a pilot hotzone in Minneapolis. Where the hotzone
will be located has not been determined but according to James
Farstad, consultant to the city, it will be a location where eight to
ten applications can be tested thoroughly.
"The city will proceed with its due diligence, review and
negotiations with the finalists and then select a winner.
"Minneapolis has also joined Intel’s Digital Communities program
which I announced last August (click here for the Intel announcement)."
