Municipal Wi-Fi > San Fran Picks Google, EarthLink for Wi-Fi Project
Via Reuters. "San Francisco city commission has selected a joint bid by Web search leader Google Inc. and Internet service provider EarthLink Inc. to provide free wireless access throughout the city."
Disclaimer: I own stock in EarthLink from a previous job. To be honest, I wound up seeing a lot of this municipal wi-fi stuff by checking EarthLink's stock. I'm hoping that Google winds up having a good relationship with EarthLink and buying them. That might finally bring their stock above water.
Don't do drugs, kids, and don't work for ISPs. One reason I'm skeptical of cities getting into the wi-fi biz is that I've seen just how cutthroat and just how rapidly-evolving the ISP scene is.
