Heh... you got a lot to learn about the way things get done in Philadelphia  The only risk Earthlink is taking is that all the politicians they bought off don't end up in prison or jump to their deaths from atop the City Hall tower.

So you're saying that the city is spending taxpayer dollars to build this network? Do you have a reference or is this an intuition? | |

I thought you were saying that Earthlink was assuming the financial risk on the stadum.
The original post talked about the money spent on the stadium, not any money spent on Wireless Philadelphia.

I don't disagree with you about people getting bought off; however, it's always best to provide proof of such.
For example, people in Chicago talk all the time about the current mayoral adminstration's "indiscretions" and yet the current administration has been in power since 1989. Granted there are current federal investigations going on; however, there's little value in saying there's corruption, but much value in proving it. (if you're from Chicago, spare me the flames - I dislike Daley just as much as the next guy).
