Milwaukee, Wisconsin mayor announces citywide wireless initiative

Mayor Tom Barrett and Milwaukee officials on Wednesday announced plans to launch the Milwaukee Wireless Initiative to provide a citywide wireless network accessible to all residents.

The Milwaukee Wireless Initiative positions Milwaukee to become the first fully wireless large city in America, built at no cost to the city and taxpayers, according to the Barrett’s office.

"This initiative constitutes a multi-million dollar private investment, and I am committed to make the Milwaukee Wireless Initiative a reality," said Barrett. "It will create tremendous growth for a locally owned company and will open the door to new jobs, job training and other social and educational opportunities."
