Earthlink Finalizes Wireless Deal in Philadelphia
An AP newswire article by Deborah Yao, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
Earthlink Inc. has finalized a 10-year contract to provide wireless Internet service across Philadelphia, a city official said Monday.
Philadelphia was the first large city to announce plans to build a wireless Internet network and provide low-cost access to residents as a way to span the digital divide. Smaller cities already have networks in operation.
In Philadelphia, Earthlink will own the network and charge a wholesale rate of $9 a month to Internet service providers that would then resell access to the public, according to Dianah Neff, the city's chief information officer.
