meaning writes "Business 2.0 reports on the possibility of Google
building a national broadband network and giving Wi-Fi access to
everyone in America. From the article: 'So once the GoogleNet is
built, how would consumers connect for free access? One of the
cheapest ways would be for Google to blanket major cities with Wi-Fi,
and evidence gathered by Business 2.0 suggests that the company may be
trying to do just that. In April it launched a Google-sponsored Wi-Fi
hotspot in San Francisco's Union Square shopping district, built by a
local startup called Feeva. Feeva is reportedly readying more free
hotspots in California, Florida, New York, and Washington, and it's
possible that Google may be involved.'"
