EarthLink's quest to rule the metropolitan airwaves is pushing ahead unabated, as they were just chosen to blanket Anaheim, CA with cozy WiFi, closely following their deal with Philly, and on the same day that their proposal to compete with Google for the San Francisco contract was unveiled. According to EarthLink, Tropos Networks' MetroMesh wireless routers, situated on lampposts throughout the city, will provide the backbone of Anaheim's 50-square-mile network. Once their two-square-mile proof of concept network is approved, EarthLink expects to have the entire project complete by the end of next year.
