The Houston City Council approved a plan with Earthlink on Wednesday to build a public wireless network that will provide discounted Internet access citywide. The Council approved two separate contracts with Earthlink. The first is a citywide broadband license agreement for the 640-square-mile project. The second is a wireless service agreement for the city of Houston. The city, as its anchor tenant, would pay at least $500,000 annually for five years to use the service. When it becomes operational, Houston is expected to have the largest Wi-Fi network in the country, covering nearly all of the city’s 600 square miles by spring of 2009.
