Municipal Wi-Fi efforts are steaming along. The high-profile project in Philadelphia to deliver city-wide Wi-Fi service passed its last hurdle yesterday and construction of the system is slated to begin in two weeks. The last step in approving the EarthLink-powered Wi-Fi network, a vote by a city council committee, took place yesterday.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati formally kicked off its free Wi-Fi service yesterday. The mesh network in the Ohio metropolis is spearheaded by a non-profit partnership called LilyPad, which includes the city of Cincinnati and Time Warner Cable. It’s a big effort: LilyPad covers the Ohio River waterfront and neighboring Kentucky cities of Covington and Newport.
