Google Proposes Free WiFi in San Francisco
Google is making some solid moves towards being an ISP, and into the wireless communications market. According to this Reuters report, it’s been offered, that Google will provide free WiFi internet access to over 700,000 people in San Francisco.
The Web search company said it has responded to a request for information by the City of San Francisco to test local Internet services via Wi-Fi, the short-range wireless technology built into most new laptop computers.
“Google has submitted a proposal to offer free, wireless Internet access (Wi-Fi) to the entire city of San Francisco,” Google said in a statement.
The Wi-Fi access could be funded through online advertising, a Google spokesman said.
This sounds like a great idea for using the Internet around town, however, the idea of having ads all over the place kind of bothers me. Will be interesting to see where it goes.
