"Yesterday, EarthLink and Google jointly submitted a 'Request For Proposal' (RFP) to the City of San Francisco to build a citywide wireless municipal network. This proposal presents a unique opportunity for both companies. By coming together to leverage the strengths of both companies, we will be able to offer services to different customers on the network that fit with their own individual needs and wants.
Fundamentally, this RFP is in line with EarthLink's belief in 'open access' -- that these municipal networks should offer the tools, services and applications that businesses, governments and consumers want to use to enable, enrich and empower their Internet experiences."
