Really interesting story about two corporations' takes/positions on keeping a free wi-fi service up and running in the New Orleans region. Following Hurrican Katrina, the govt/emergency wi-fi service was opened up as a free wi-fi service to individuals/companies who badly needed the connectivity.
Now BellSouth is in the eye of the storm from the perspective of trying down to shut down this service. They claim they've taken no such position.
Earthlink on the other hand, is taking a White Knight position in terms of trying to keep this up and running.
