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:
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
