Wireless Partnership

"In the twelve years we've been working to provide the highest in technology products, I've taken great pride in how involved we've been in our hometown community. But nothing compares to this experience of working side-by-side with the City to provide these capabilities that will contribute to making Fort Collins even more of a great place to live and work," says FRII CEO, Bill Ward.

"Downtown is already a hub of activity, and now it's the first place in Northern Colorado to offer Wireless Internet. I'm pleased that we've been able to partner with FRII to deliver this exciting new service," said City Manager, Darin Atteberry.
