The seemed very hesitant about the whole thing. I guess they were waiting for a windfall profit when the landslide of residents signed up. And for some reason people seemed very surprised that comcast and verizon aren't jumping on board... Well why would they this was a competition to their service, Comcast is already taxing their network and verizon has horrible coverage on the last mile. Verizon is betting heavy on Fios and Comcast can't seem to walk right with the head in the sand.

Talks must have broken down and Earthlink really IS pulling out of Philadelphia, apparently removing the Wi-Fi network they built at their own cost. I never really knew much about it in the first place, and I live around Philadelphia. I wish this initiative could have worked out, and also wonder the details. The link above is a press release from EarthLink's own website. Direct from their mouths, so to speak. Looks like it’s really happening.
