NEW ORLEANS - Internet service provider EarthLink Inc. has won approval to build a wireless network around a free city-owned system that made its debut last fall in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Atlanta-based EarthLink said it would offer two levels of service ― one free and a faster version for a fee. The company also said it would allow competing Wi-Fi providers to use its network for a price.
Initially, EarthLink's system will cover about 15 square miles of the 181-square mile city, including the downtown business district and the French Quarter, along with other areas that will be decided later, said Bill Tolpegin, EarthLink's vice president of development and planning for municipal networking.
