Re: Sounds to me...

Earthlink has been a zombie wandering the back woods of the Internet for well over a year now. They are furiously trying to prop up the corpse and walk it around to distract the shareholders from that funny smell.

Philly should just tell them to go pound sand. As mentioned elsewhere they've got much bigger issues to attend to than a failed muni WiFi project. If it is worth anything Earthlink should be able to find a buyer even at 10 cents on the dollar.

Instead of threating citys. Why dont they just step up and say kindly they cant make profit from it. Then give the city the option to buy it from them.

If a company came to treaten me like that. I would tell them to stick it where the sun dont shine. I'm nice as a teddy bear. But cross the line and WorldWar III is going to happen.

Executives must be paid large bonuses before there can be any folding.

Like Earthlink is trying to get some cash before they fold.

Maybe AOL should buy them!
