Municipal Wi-Fi > Earthlink Backs Out of San Fran Wi-Fi Deal
"S.F. citywide Wi-Fi plan fizzles as provider backs off":
Mayor Gavin Newsom's high-profile effort to blanket San Francisco with a free wireless Internet network died Wednesday when provider EarthLink backed out of a proposed contract with the city.
The contract, which was three years in the making, had run into snags with the Board of Supervisors, but ultimately it was undone when Atlanta-based EarthLink announced Tuesday that it no longer believed providing citywide Wi-Fi was economically viable for the company.
