New Orleans Opts To End Wi-Fi Network – Earthlink failed to transfer network to city or third party

Earthlink is in the process of figuring out what to do with the few remaining Wi-Fi networks left over from its ambitious plans to blanket the nation with wireless cities. As part of that process, they have announced that they will be shutting off their New Orleans Wi-Fi network as of May 18th. Earthlink apparently tried to sell the network as well as to transfer it to either the city itself or to a third party; all attempts to do so have failed and New Orleans will now just lose the network entirely. Earthlink assures customers in the area that the company would be happy to provide them with alternate EarthLink high-speed broadband or dial-up services after their service is terminated. After significantly cutting its spending, Earthlink was able to turn a profit in the first quarter of this year.
