I'm so glad to hear this! PTP spent the better part of a year working
towards this, enough cannot be said about the patience and diplomacy
that was put forth to get this resolution. Ultimately, it goes beyond
just the SkyPilots, and feels like a validation of our initial
suggestion to the city (in August 2007) that the community should
step-in where MetroFi failed to meet the Unwire Portland goals.

I hope we can get these things working for the community.
