Official Google Blog: Update on wi-fi in San Francisco
In April the City and County of San Francisco chose the bid from EarthLink and Google to offer citywide Wi-Fi access, and we’re thrilled about that. A key part of this project has been keeping citizens apprised of our progress and answering questions along the way. Towards this end, we recently sent a letter to the City of San Francisco that addresses our commitment to user privacy. We look forward to continuing our work with EarthLink and the City to build a citywide wireless network.
This is good to hear… if only for the reason that if it’s successful enough, then more citys (say Napa) will try to get a citywide wifi going… with perhaps a slow free service or affordable for people with wandering laptops. there are a few hotspots here in Napa… but it seems they are never where I want one.
