Wi-Fi for Everyone

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 in to a broadband connection as powerful as any offered by a commercial service.
