Earthlink tries some clever spin but it's their own fault for acting like they could provide this service. Totally wrong partner. I wonder what if they're now going to try to put the screws to New Orleans... ---
EarthLink, the big technology firm that has been negotiating with San Francisco to build a free wireless network for the city and its residents, just announced a change in corporate strategy. On July 26, CEO Rolla P. Huff told stock analysts that the company would no longer pursue the sort of deal that San Francisco wants; instead, Huff said, EarthLink wants each municipality to "step up" and become an "anchor tenant." That would mean San Francisco forking over millions of dollars a year to guarantee EarthLink some baseline revenue. It's highly unlikely that the Board of Supervisors would agree to that sort of deal. -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
