If you’re a lucky resident in Mountain View California, you are about to be able to enjoy Google’s free Wi-Fi. The move will make Mountain View the largest US city with free Internet access. More than 72,000 people live in the city, which is 35 miles south of San Francisco. Wi-Fi networks are planned in many other cities, including Philadelphia and Chicago, but most of those are envision charging. Google invested a million in the project. It has 380 radio antennae and is just as fast as DSL.
A Google executive said that he thought the outfit had built a “pretty cool, robust network” which could handle the peaks in traffic nicely.
I would be happy with FREE DSL internet. Anything is better than nothing right?
