AOL, DirectTV To Resell Earthlink WiFi In AnaheimEarthlink, which launched the first phase of its city-wide WiFi netowrk last week, announced agreements with AOl and DirectTV that allows those companies to purchase the service wholsale and resell in Anaheim:
AOL and DirecTV will offer Wi-Fi subscriptions to customers in all cities where EarthLink builds networks.
"We don't want to be a franchise that has a monopoly on Wi-Fi," said Donald Berryman, president of municipal networks for EarthLink. "It will be a truly open market, price-competitive system, and that was a big selling point for the cities."
EarthLink said it has now completed about 20 percent of Anaheim's network, which will ultimately cover about 100,000 households over 49 square miles. It will also offer access to the city's throngs of tourists; some 50 million people go to Anaheim each year to visit Disneyland and attend conventions and sporting events.
