Wee-Fi: Minneapolis Network Nearly Done; Longmont, Colo., Considers Buying Network; JiWire, Boingo in Airport Ad Partnership; Skyhook Overview; Share with Faux Cher in the Castro 30.11.1999 / 802.11b Networking News Minneapolis network operator says completion is close: About 85 percent of the network that US Internet is building in this Minnesotan city is complete, with the remainder done by February.
