AT&T drops citywide wireless internet plan

AT&T has scuttled plans to deploy wireless Internet throughout Springfield, according to Mayor Tim Davlin's top aide.

"They made a business decision not to pursue this", said Jim Donelan, Davlin's executive assistant, this afternoon.

The city is still open to companies that want to make proposals for citywide wireless access, Donelan said.

A spokesman for AT&T did not provide a statement from the company this afternoon.

The city has contacted Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, whose office had planned to provide a grant to the city to deploy a wireless network at the Statehouse and downtown, but no deal has been worked out, Donelan said.

The city announced the AT&T deal to much fanfare a year ago. Springfield was to be the first city AT&T offered the service.

In recent months, Donelan had said negotiations were continuing with the telecommunications giant. However, AT&T backed out of the deal "within the past few weeks", Donelan said.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18968961 Tue, 28 Aug 2007 20:35:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18968367 Randy : Right now Springfield, Il needs to tell ATT to not do it either since they know its worthless.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18968367 Tue, 28 Aug 2007 19:04:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18968190 fatmanskinny : I would say to the City of Chicago, "smart move".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18968190 Tue, 28 Aug 2007 18:35:24 EDT
