Google Gives Away Free Internet Connection!
Thursday, August 17, 2006
Google has also created a map, which shows the places where they have installed the wireless routers and the places which are yet to be covered in that area. Here's the link to the map : Mountain View Coverage Map.
Now, Don't you feel that it would have been nice if your city had Google Headquarters :). Anyway, apart from the jokes, this is a very bold step from Google as giving away free internet connection is not an easy thing. Consider this situation, where people like me have the capability of consuming 1 GB of data in one day and there are many others who can even top that number. Most likely, Google must have applied certain restrictions but they've not revealed that yet. It is not possible for me to know as Wireless technology is still not so advanced (he he, it can't cover countries :P), so it will be someone from Mountain View area who will be able to comment on the quality of the service and about the restrictions.
