According to an article published today in the Inquirer, Wireless Philadelphia and Earthlink have come to agreement on the terms of the contract to bring wi-fi to the entire city. The service should be available sometime in the spring of 2007. They will start building the network in the Northeast first.

Why the Northeast? I thought that there was already a partial network in Center City. (Okay, as a Center City resident, I am a bit biased) Wouldn’t it make sense to start there? And doesn’t spring of 2007 seems like a very long time from now? Hopefully it won’t fall behind like so many other things around here.
