History
Unplugged Cities was founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 2005. This company was founded after the city of St. Louis Park, Minnesota agreed to partner with Unplugged Cities in the Parkwifi project that was supposed to provide wireless internet service throughout the city.
As part of the foundation of the company Unplugged Cities purchased the Minnesota portion of Pixius Communications to provide a base of support staff until Parkwifi was fully operational. The Minnesota assets purchased from Pixius were formed into a company named MetroProvider, which offers dial up, DSL, webhosting and T1 services throughout the Twin Cities area.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
