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.
