Civitium Analysis of Wireless Philadelphia Developments

On May 13, EarthLink Corporation issued a press release stating that it would discontinue its municipal Wi-Fi operations in Philadelphia. Due in part to Civitium’s past affiliation with the project, and our status as an advisor for public communications projects, we have received numerous inquiries from clients, partners and the press since last week. This memo seeks to provide our perspective on the factors that led to the breakup of the Philadelphia-EarthLink partnership and how these developments may be used to inform decision-making for cities involved in similar initiatives.
