Free Wi-Fi is coming to North Bay. North Bay Computer Doctors is spending $20,000 to provide the service throughout the community.

Owner Sheldon Forgette says the business believes the internet should be accessible to all whether you’re rich or poor. He says other communities already provide a similar service.

Forgette says the downtown will get the free Wi-Fi first. In addition to the $20,000 to buy the equipment, he’ll spend $2,000 annually to maintain it.

What he needs next are property partners who will put the equipment on their sites. Anyone interested in installing repeater equipment can reach Forgette at Sheldon@NorthBayComputerDoctors.com
