Google, Earthlink Bid on San Francisco’s WiFi Project
Techdirt has a blurb on the headline that Google and Earthlink have put a combined bid proposal together to build San Francisco’s municipal WiFi network. They indicate that Google’s interest in the SF WiFi network would be to test out new ideas since SF is just a few minutes from their Headquarters in Mountain View, CA.
Google and Earthlink have submitted a combined proposal to build San Francisco’s municipal WiFi network. It’s a pairing that makes sense: Earthlink is emerging as a leader in the municipal wireless network space with its win in Philadelphia and in other places, while Google’s interest in running a municipal network wasn’t necessarily in being an access provider, but in having a network on which it could test out new ideas and products.
