Google launches free WiFi for testers
Posted by Bug-E on July 19th, 2006
Google just opened up a large number of access points for free wifi access to testers. Not sure where digg.com got these details from, but holy intarnets batman! That’s a whole lotta access points! The link takes you through to a Google Maps interface showing the access points and coverage holes in the Mountain View, CA. area.
UPDATE (2006-08-02): OhGizmo was a bit slow on the uptake of this story, but they have a nice pic of an access point stuck to a lamp post. I wonder if that’s an actual Google AP or just a stock photo or something. Either way, I wonder how long those access points will stay up there? Here in Cape Town we had a security camera stolen off of a lamp post within a day or two of it being stuck up there… Can’t think it’s any different anywhere else in the world? People steal anything that’s not super glued to a bulldozer…
