PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The city will tap the private sector to implement its plan for blanketing most of Philadelphia with cheap, high-speed wireless Internet access.
Mayor John F. Street said the city would accept bids through next month to design and build a system that would mount Wi-Fi transmitters on city streetlights.
The administration is prepared to spend up to $15 million during the first five years and expects to have the system running by September 2006. City officials hope the system would eventually pay for itself.
