Earthlink Inc. and Google Inc. have submitted a united proposal for building a citywide wireless network in San Francisco.
The capitulation in response to the city's "request for proposal" was handed in this week, the companies said in a joint statement. Earthlink and Google last year told the city individually that they were interested in building the project.
The city needs to build a civic network in order to give poorer residents an affordable choice for getting online. Mayor Gavin Newsom launched the wireless broadband scheme last summer, hoping to provide free Internet access to city businesses and residents.
