This is huge, really. This is the first step towards world domination by Google! Aaagh! All kidding aside, it IS important. The real truth is that it’s the first step for any company to make wireless accessibility more globally accessible. We have cities around the US that offer free wi-fi, like Google. I believe ClearCast offers it in Philadelphia for free. But beyond US borders? This is just the start of something that will hopefully proliferate into something that’s easily accessible to all globally.
