Earthlink and Google give free Wi-Fi

Wi-fi in San Francisco will finally meet Mayor Gavin Newsom’s promise of free internet spanning over the entire city of San Francisco.

According to city officials, the local government will now enter negotiations to finalize the details of the deal. According to the proposal, Google will offer free, ad-subsidized access with a bandwidth of 300 Kb/s while Earthlink will be providing a premium service with higher speeds for $20 per month.
