In the future, computer users in Johnson County could be able to access the Internet from anywhere in the county — no cords attached.
On Thursday, county commissioners and the county’s three largest cities took the next step toward creating a wireless communications network to cover the 460-acre county.
Commissioners agreed that in March county staff would put out a request for proposals, asking wireless network providers to bid on building the county’s network, said Hannes Zacharias, deputy county manager.
The response will tell the county whether the private sector wants the business and thinks there is money to be made by constructing a wireless network throughout Johnson County.
