It seems that the state is getting involved now...
Today's Metro, page 8: "Members of the city's Wi-Fi taskforce - as
well as members of the Street administration - are up in arms over a
pushed-through Republican bill that could pre-empt Philadelphia's
plans for city-wide free or low-cost wireless internet."
It seems that just before the legislators went on vacation 2 weeks
early, they decided to give local phone companies the "right of
first refusal" involving any city implementing internet services.
In otherwords, the law, if signed by Rendell, would require a city
to first get every phone company to first decline to offer service.
Any city with service in place before Aug 1, 2006 is exempt.
