Philadelphia - Earthlink = no city-wide WiFi

Yesterday, Earthlink officially announced that it will be dropping its WiFi service for Philadelphia.  The city-wide WiFi service, which has given consumers an inexpensive means to connect to the Internet, was also supposed to generate increased sales for Earthlink.  The company was expecting at least 100,000 new customers from the service, but only ended up receiving about 6,000. The $17 million network will be shut down on June 12.
