On Behalf Of Matt Fanady Sent: Monday, August 15, 2005 6:48 PM Subject: [SCFN] Google to offer free wifi? Business 2.0 reports on the possibility of
Google building a national
broadband network and giving Wi-Fi access to everyone in America. >From
the article: 'So once the GoogleNet is built, how would consumers connect for
free access? One of the cheapest ways would be for Google to blanket major
cities with Wi-Fi, and evidence gathered by Business 2.0 suggests that the
company may be trying to do just that. In April it launched a Google-sponsored Wi-Fi
hotspot in San Francisco's Union Square shopping district, built by a local
startup called Feeva. Feeva is reportedly readying more free hotspots in
California, Florida, New York, and Washington, and it's possible that Google may
be involved.'
