July 1, 2005/

By the end of the August, the city of Portland, Oregon’s Bureau of Technology Services will issue a request for proposals (RFP) to "Unwire Portland." The move was approved by the city council yesterday. Proposals from vendors and ISPs will be due by September 28, 2005, with deployment to start during the holiday season.

Nigel Ballard, the wireless director for local WISP Matrix Networks is also the director of the Portland Telecommunications Steering Committee. He said in a statement that the city has "defined a downtown grid that will be our phase one Wi-Fi hotspot."
