EarthLink Wants to Sell Municipal Wi-Fi Assets


EarthLink is considering "strategic alternatives" for its municipal Wi-Fi business, says Associated Press, a phrase that generally means it is for sale.

EarthLink originally had hoped it might be able to come up with a revised business plan that relied on additional investment by partners, including the municipalities that wanted the networks in the first place.

The company "decided that making significant further investments in this business could be inconsistent with our objective of maximizing shareholder value," says Rolla Huff, EarthLink CEO.
