United Way to bring wireless Internet to poor neighborhoods - Associated Press
The United Way is building a network of wireless high-speed Internet antennas in a pair of poor city neighborhoods where some people still can't afford a phone. The project, to be completed in April, will create two Internet "hot spots" in West Philadelphia that will allow anyone with the right equipment to tap into a broadband connection as powerful as any offered by a commercial service. The service will cost between $5 and $10 per month, less than what many people pay to dial up the Internet on a modem.
