OGDEN — Can't find a good wireless Internet access point in Ogden?

Over the next five years, Internet service provider XMission and the city of Ogden will team up to create the Ogden Wi-Fi network, which will eventually span 28 square miles.

Free wireless users will have their first hour of Internet access with no bandwidth restrictions. Each following hour will have a 40 kbps connection speed.

The project will roll out in three phases, according to a news release from XMission.

The first phase, which is under construction, will provide Wi-Fi coverage for Historic 25th Street, the park surrounding City Hall and the Marshall White recreational facility and park.
