This would be huge. Pretty cool idea. Many cities are trying to provide free wireless, but are being hindered by the utillities. Google has the power to do this, and think of the marketing value it would net them. Damn.
From the article:
What if Google (GOOG) wanted to give Wi-Fi access to everyone in America? And what if it had technology capable of targeting advertising to a user’s precise location? The gatekeeper of the world’s information could become one of the globe’s biggest Internet providers and one of its most powerful ad sellers, basically supplanting telecoms in one fell swoop. Sounds crazy, but how might Google go about it?
