Philadelphia plans to build the biggest municipal wireless Internet system in the country, joining a small but growing number of cities that are treating Web access like a basic municipal service such as water, electricity and trash collection.

Taking a stab and narrowing the digital divide, Philly plans to offer the high-speed service for as little as $10 a month for low-income residents.
