[SOURCE: Reuters, AUTHOR: Jon Hurdle]
Philadelphia has finished testing its wireless Internet project, setting the
stage for America's biggest citywide Wi-Fi network that will also offer access
to low-income households, officials said on Thursday. The city government this
week approved results from a 15-square-mile test zone where people can access
the Internet for $21.95 a month or $9.95 if they qualify for low-income
assistance. Access is free in parks and other outdoor spaces, and for people
participating in community programs such as employment training or housing
assistance. By the end of this year, Philadelphia will have wireless Internet
access throughout its 135 square miles.
