Bay Area Wireless Project Stalls

BAY AREA WIRELESS PROJECT STALLS
[SOURCE: Technology Daily 10/23, AUTHOR: Michael Martinez]
An ambitious high-speed Internet project in San Francisco has been bogged down lately by political disputes among city officials, and two major technology firms could get cut from the initiative before the argument is resolved. The city's Board of Supervisors last month called for a study into the feasibility and cost of an alternative to a proposal submitted by EarthLink and Google to build a citywide wireless network. The board wants to determine whether it would be cheaper for the city to build and operate the network on its own, rather than contracting the project to private firms. The study is not expected to be competed until December.
