The American city of Philadelphia revived the project for the deployment of free municipal Wi-Fi network. The project, launched by EarthLink in 2005, ' stalled ' after it became clear that the placement of access points, street lighting poles, does not provide enough for comfortable surfing the global network, signal strength. In addition, it appears that the population of 1.4 million. man, Wi-Fi- only access an interest in 6000, which apparently killed the interest and EarthLink has finally ( the business model supporting a network built on display advertising ), writes eWeek.
However, the network already covers 80% of urban areas. Therefore, the new company Network Acquisition Company LLC, an organized group of local investors decided to buy the infrastructure for EarthLink, and yet begun to bring the matter to an end. As the main source of support networks need to address corporate customers, which will now have to convince them that connect to the citywide Wi-Fi network is vital as each company and the city.
If this issue will be resolved in sufficient amounts, the entire city, an area of about 135 square miles, will eventually free Wi-Fi- access. To support signal indoors, get special offers to consumers repeaters, worth about 200 dollars. That will amplify the signal coming from the street hot-spots.
Neither the cost of resuming the project, no timeline for its completion have not been disclosed.
