Mayor Street will announce today that the deal between EarthLink, the Internet provider, and Wireless Philadelphia has been signed, clearing the way for Philadelphia to become a citywide wi-fi hotspot.
Street will also transmit bills to City Council that will enable Earthlink, an Atlanta company, to install about 4,000 transmitters on city-owned lightpoles.
News of the announcement came yesterday as the city's chief information officer, Dianah Neff, was being grilled by Council members over the forced resignation of her key aide, who violated the city's residency rules.
