Municipal wireless service provider MetroFi has announced (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121098167451900241.html?mod=googlenews_wsj) that the company is seeking a sale of its networks as it considers getting out of the citywide Wi-Fi game for good. The company has been unable to keep its promises in the nine networks that it s built; the most recent problem (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/93725) was a demand that Portland pony up additional funding to complete a network that was supposed to be done this summer. MetroFi has now told Portland and other cities where it operates that they can buy the networks themselves within the next 30-60 days or MetroFi will look to sell them to a third party. MetroFi is also seeking to sell itself to a larger company.
