Earthlink Looking to Exit Muni Wi-Fi Business

EarthLink today announced that it would begin a process to consider its strategic alternatives for its municipal wireless business.


"After thorough review and analysis of our municipal wireless business we have decided that making significant further investments in this business could be inconsistent with our objective of maximizing shareholder value," said Rolla P. Huff, EarthLink president and CEO.

"Accordingly, at this time, we are considering our strategic alternatives with respect to this business," Huff added.

EarthLink will seek to work closely with the municipalities in which it has operations as it considers these alternatives.

The net book value of the assets attributable to EarthLink's municipal wireless business is approximately $40 million.
