Milpitas May Make Use Of Old Earthlink Wi-Fi Network - Google to recreate Mountain View network in Milpitas

Milpitas, California is one of those small cities that was excited to get a citywide wireless network from Earthlink a couple of years back and then had to agree to a return of the network when Earthlink’s plans collapsed earlier this year. When the city accepted the network back, its plan was to use it solely as a municipal network. However, a new agreement is pending which would once again offer free wi-fi to about 7000 users per month. The agreement would allow for the formation of a collaborative group called Silicon Valley Unwired which includes the city, Google and I-Net Solutions (the group that provides Wi-Fi for Mountain View in cooperation with Google). This non-profit group would work together to offer the network’s service at no additional cost to the city using the infrastructure put into place by Earthlink.
