Philadelphia goes wireless

The final stage of testing the revolutionary wireless Internet project in Philadelphia has ended. The city government approved the public availability of a 15 square mile test zone, which will soon be extended to its full coverage plans, 135 square miles.

The project is meant to offer citywide Wi-Fi Internet access in both public areas and private homes in all of Philadelphia for $21.95 a month ($9.95 for low-income households). In outdoors the access is free of charge, and so it is for people that participate in community programs.

Greg Goldman is the chief executive of the Philadelphia Project, a nonprofit organization set up by the city to implement the plan. His organization will make Internet available to more than 300,000 households that didn't have the possibility to access the Web before. "This is a major step toward achieving our vision of the entire city connected," Goldman said. "Low-income families can begin using the powers of the Internet to improve their educational, employment and life opportunities."
