Google, EarthLink Submit Joint San Francisco Bid
In a move that doesn’t surprise me, EarthLink and Google have combined their proposal to build a network in San Francisco: Both companies have openly spoken for months about how they were working together to understand how viable models for a variety of metro-scale networks could operate profitably for the ISP. Google has said rather consistently as well that they aren’t interested in running Wi-Fi networks, but rather need some testbeds to try out ideas—hence their SF and Mountain View interests.
