Portland's MetroFi Nodes Still Hanging on

The Oregonian notes that the city may still pick up tab for removing MetroFi’s base station: Although MetroFi posted a $30,000 bond against removal of its antennas, the cost could be $90,000 if the company winds up with insufficient assets to roll down the network. The city could pare that figure by using its own crews for removing nodes from traffic signals, but that would still leave $36,000 on the table. The paper notes that MetroFi tried to sell some nodes on eBay, but I don’t believe they had takers.
