Google:Offers free Wi-Fi

Posted by Harsha

Google is soon to launch free citywide Wi-Fi, Internet service to everyone in its Silicon Valley home town Mountain View.

This move would make Mountain View the largest US city with free Internet Access. There are more than 72000 people living in this city, which is just 35 miles down south of SFO. The population has swelled to about 100000 people during the day.

"We are not concerned about being able to handle the load," said Chris Sacca, a Google executive who oversaw the Mountain View project. "We think we have built a pretty cool, robust network."


Wi-Fi networks are even been planned in many other cities, including Philadelphia and Chicago, but most of those envision charging. Google invested a million in this project.
