Google Confirms Free San Francisco WiFi Plans

Google is making a bid to build a San Francisco-wide free wifi network, according to company officials. The company today filed documents in response to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom’s request for information for the city wide network. Google’s WiFi plans were first reported by Business 2.0 magazine as part of the GoogleNet article. The company says if its bid is approved, then it is willing to start the work on the network within weeks.

It's all about ad revenue, which they would have in abundance, should they make this work.

We'll see hoe they get along with the city/county Board, and then proceed from thrtr. from there
