Sacramento is logging out of the wireless Internet game.
The City Council voted Tuesday to terminate a contract with a technology consortium that planned to blanket the city with a free wireless network.
That tech group - Sacramento Metro Connect - was never able to come up with the money to set up the network, according to a city staff report. City officials said no public money was lost in the deal, inked in June 2007, and that only staff time was wasted.
According to the city staff report, SMC never submitted a detailed plan for setting up the network and had not started installing the equipment it needed to make Sacramento a Wi-Fi city.
The city sent SMC a letter earlier this month to notify them they were recommending their contract be tossed out.
