Questions surround the wireless network deal between Google/EarthLink and San Francisco
Came across this blog post which says that the San Francisco wireless network that Google and EarthLink are developing was basically a sweetheart deal between the city and the companies. There are mentions of secret panels and secret negotiations that gave Google and EarthLink the ability to build the network with little resistance.

You'd have to read it further to get a true grasp of what is being discussed. Of course, this is from an "alternative" news site, so the tendency to bring forth conspiracy theories and accusations from these sources has to be considered. In any event, it's interesting reading, and may be worth further discussion down the road.
