With layoffs and losses at EarthLink, the internet service provider that was supposed to foot the bill to build city wide wifi networks across San Francisco and Houston is backing out. In San Francisco, the company had been planning to charge $20 per month for access that is 3 to 4 times faster than the free service that was to be subsidized by ads sold by Google. But they are no longer interested in plans where they take all the up front financial risk, having faced lower than projected subscriptions in cities where the wifi network has already been built.
