Free WiFi in San Francisco, plans Google |
It’s no longer a rumour, according to Om Malik:
Google officials say San Francisco residents (and visitors) will enjoy a free 300 kilobits per second, always on connection anywhere in the city. As part of its proposal, the company says it will be offering wholesale access to other service providers, who will offer higher throughput connections to their customers. Google says it plans to use its own authentication services. (That explains the Google WiFi VPN client to some extent). The company is going to use San Diego-based WFI, a cellular network builder company to build out the WiFi network.
300k for free is not bad. The next question is when does this come to other major cities? WTG Google!

I love Google so much it scares me. Just how big are these guys gonna get? Will they eventually get so much control over so much that they start to have a negative impact as does Wal-Mart?

This sounds awesome. Google & Wal-mart control the world for a reason: they improve everyone’s lives immeasurably!
