Grassroots free wireless Internet is spreading throughout Ypsilanti and across Metro Detroit thanks to Wireless Ypsi. What is essentially a WiFi co-op now covers large sections of the city, including downtown, Depot Town and Riverside Park.
So far the local initiative founded by community activists Steve Pierce and Brian Robb has passed 5,000 users since it launched at the beginning of this year. It averages 200 users per day and has plans to begin covering other sections of the city, such as Cross Street and various low-income housing developments.
