Google Covers San Francisco

Google and Earthlink are now providing free wi-fi service all over San Francisco. Google users with wi-fi transmitters can be located to within a few blocks, so that they can provide local advertisements from the immediate area. Google is working with Motorola and Tropos Networks to make a mobile network for businesses and residents as well. Earthlink will also be building a wi-fi network in Philadelphia and Milpitas, California.

The preious comment hit the nail on the head. Other internet providers will surely suffer from this idea. But on the other hand, think of how benifital custom ads will be for area businesses. The rise in awarness for what a consumer can purchase in the immediate area will probably also increase revenue for those businesses.
