EarthLink, San Francisco finalize Wi-Fi contract
The city of San Francisco and EarthLink have finalized a contract that will enable EarthLink to build a citywide wireless network and Google to provide free Internet access.
Details of the contract, completed on Friday, can be seen here. The agreement must be approved by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
"This agreement catapults San Francisco into a leadership position in wireless technology: the network ensures universal, affordable wireless broadband access for all San Franciscans, especially low-income and disadvantaged residents; and through the Mayor's digital divide program, children and students will have the digital tools to ensure that they have access to everything that the Internet has to offer the growing minds of the City's promising future," said Donald Berryman, executive vice president of EarthLink and president of the ISP's municipal networks unit.
