Google WiFi; Mountain View CA
Katie Fehrenbacher attended a training session for Google’s WiFi service in Mountain View California last night. Google’s WiFi is entering the testing phase now but Om reports that they hope to have the official launch day during the “summer of 2006”.
More and more cities and towns around the country are building WiFi networks. In New Jersey Summit seems to be the city closest to ours that is exploring WiFi. Summit is looking to contract with a third party wireless provider to build and run the network at no cost to Summit taxpayers. In response to their Request for Information Summit received responses from many nationally recognized wireless companies.
I’ll be following Summit’s progress closely and be especially on the lookout for Verizon’s reaction. Hopefully they won’t do anything to hinder their progress.
