Will Google Be Your Next Telephone Company?
Google has sent a proposal to the city of San Francisco to set up a free wi-fi network covering the entire city. How would Google pay for it? Advertising. If this pilot program is successful, Google (and competitors) could replicate it all over the world. Once people get wi-fi for free, they could start thinking about getting rid of their DSL and/or cable modems. Once they get rid of their DSL and cable modems, they start thinking about getting rid of their local land line service. You can see why the baby bells don't exactly like this technology.
