>        The wireless clock will soon strike midnight in the City of
>        Brotherly Love, as EarthLink will soon shut down Philadelphia's
>        municipal WiFi for good. EarthLink claims it was going transfer
>        the network to the city of Philadelphia for free (as well
>        as donate the WiFi equipment), but blames the conclusion of
>        this months-long drama on the city's inability to get its act
>        together. Current customers will have 30 days to transition
>        to something else, and the plug will officially be pulled on
>        Thursday, June 12.
