Washtenaw County and 20/20 Communications Sign Agreement For Wireless Washtenaw
September 26th, 2006
 

Washtenaw County Administrator Robert E. Guenzel, and 20/20 Communications CEO Mark McCleary, today signed the Wireless Washtenaw agreement. The agreement gives the green light for 20/20 to start the three (3) Wireless Washtenaw Pilots. 20/20 will begin installing radios on county assets in Ann Arbor, Saline and a consortium of rural areas including the Village of Manchester, Bridgewater Township, Freedom Township, Manchester Township and Sharon Township.

Residents and businesses in these areas will be able to participate in the pilot using both the free 84kbs service and the fee based faster service. "People have been calling daily to find out how they can be part of the Pilot" said Bob Wolff, President 20/20 Communications, "We've been taking their name, number and address and will contact them as soon as we establish the pilot in their area."

Upon the pilot's successful completion, 20/20 Communications will then begin deploying radios and providing the free and fee based wireless Internet service to the remaining Washtenaw County residents and businesses.
