ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The University of New Mexico is going wireless–thanks to New Mexico Educator’s FCU. The $600 million credit union has pledged $750,000 to pay for a free wireless Internet connection for the state’s largest campus. Credit union officials said they agreed to make the donation after reading in the local press that the University wanted to make the connection but didn’t have the money. Officials expect that 85% of the campus will have wireless connectivity by the middle of next year.
