PART 3: Wireless Ypsi Spreads The Gospel
Wireless Ypsi is a free wireless Internet service that covers all of the downtown and Depot Town in Ypsilanti and is branching out to other business districts and neighborhoods in and around Ypsilanti.

PART 2: Building Wireless Ypsi
Wireless Ypsi has been an interesting project to work on for the past eight months. When Brian Robb and I started it in January 2008, we thought we might have 5 or 10 business hooked up and the ‘regulars’ that visit downtown Ypsilanti every week could surf the net. We sort of blew over that goal in the first week.

PART 1: Why Do Most Free Wireless Efforts Fail?
Why is Wireless Ypsi working and so many other community wireless efforts failing? I am asked this question on an almost daily basis.

8,187: More Wireless Ypsi Stuff
In what is becoming boring, but is still absolutely remarkable, Wireless Ypsi keeps getting larger and larger. A couple days ago we passed 8,000 users and currently sits around 8,200. The network keeps growing as more and more people partner with us. Since so much time has passed since we last updated all of the partners and all of the available locations, allow me to do that right now.
