A citywide wireless Internet network that promised to help bridge the �digital divide� may be shuttered if the city isn�t able to reach an agreement with Earthlink, the company that built the system for free but now wants out. Earthlink, which stopped accepting new customers last week, has given the city until tomorrow to come up with a plan to take over the system or it could begin to take down the network, according to sources close to discussions. An original deadline of last Wednesday came and passed." http://philly.metro.us/metro/[....]_could_be_shut_down/12422.html Aquila non capit muscas - /// 4ever! /// Ericsson Forum
