If you have wirless, the Starbucks works, and the place next to the
River City Saloon. You can also get a signal from about mainstreet
North in Stevenson.
I'm actually getting a signal in the condo these days, because
the real news is:
Wi-Fi blankets Hood River for next 90 days
Saturday, May 27, 2006
The Web's free and wireless in Hood River, for at least the next 90 days.
Embarq Corp., which was the local phone division of Sprint Nextel Corp. until it was spun off last week, has built a free Wi-Fi network covering Hood River's three square miles. The newly independent company is experimenting with wireless Internet access and has made Hood River its second test site. The first one went online in Henderson, Nev., in March.
For the next 90 days, Embarq said Friday, it will test the network's capabilities and explore ways to make it operate profitably. At the end of that time, the company hopes to sell or lease the network to the city of Hood River.
Enjoy!
