EarthLink to pull the plug on Wi-Fi in Philadelphia
From the Mercury News:
EarthLink Inc. is pulling the plug on its troubled wireless high-speed Internet network in Philadelphia, once touted as a model for how big cities should deploy Wi-Fi.The Atlanta-based Internet service provider said Tuesday that it could not find a buyer for the $17 million network and that talks to give it to either the city or a nonprofit organization had failed.
City officials have said it would cost taxpayers millions each year to operate the network.
