No plans for Google Wi-Fi Service…yet
August 16, 2006Google has announced that there are no plans in the works to launch a national Wi-Fi Network - although they are currently rolling out wireless Internet service in Mountain View, CA (the city where Google is based). There are approximately 300 open bids in the United States for municipal Wi-Fi services and Google is not bidding on any of them.
Google has waged war with telephone and cable industry companies that have threatened to charge content providers for access to their networks. This hotly debated topic has landed in Washington where Google and its supported are pushing legislators and regulatory agencies to ensure what they call “Net neutrality.”
