Last year, officials unveiled a pilot plan offering users of Wi-Fi-enabled computers access to the Internet within a radius of about a mile of downtown’s Love Park. Thursday’s announcement expands the network to the city’s entire 135-square-mile area, marking a U.S. first.
The “Wireless Philadelphia” network is expected to be up by late summer 2006 and available to computer users paying up to $20 a month. Commercial Wi-Fi services run about $40 monthly.
