Google & Earthlink propose Wi-Fi plans for San Francisco
San Francisco’s Mayor Gavin Newsom asked for a wireless network and thanks to proposals from Google and Earthlink they are going to get one. Google said on Friday it has proposed to provide free wireless Internet services across the city of San Francisco. Other companies that responded to San Francisco’s request for information include Internet service provider EarthLink of Atlanta, so Google is not the only company that has a proposal. Now why didn’t the mayor of St. Louis ask for a wireless network!
Google has submitted a proposal to offer free, wireless Internet access (Wi-Fi) to the entire city of San Francisco,” Google said in a statement. The Wi-Fi access could be funded through online advertising, a Google spokesman said.
The service aims to test a range of new services and applications around the hilly city, which is home to more than 700,000 residents. offering free wireless communications could thrust Google into competition with entrenched local suppliers of broadband Internet access, including telephone network SBC Communications Inc. and local cable operator Comcast
