Google Keeps Offering Free Wi-Fi — Now in San Francisco
It has been many years since Google first built their Wi-Fi network in their hometown of Mountain View California. While initially getting a lot of attention, their Wi-Fi efforts have since been over shadowed by the deployment of Google Fiber. In addition to offering Google Wi-Fi in Google Fiber locations like Kansas City, the company also this year gave a $200,000 grant to Pryor, Oklahoma to build a citywide Wi-Fi network. More recently, Google is providing 60 acres worth of free Wi-Fi access in Douglasville, Georgia, near where Google runs a 500,000 square foot data center. This week, Google also announced they’ll be paying around $600,000 to provide free Wi-Fi in at least 31 San Francisco parks.
