Google wants to bring free wifi to the world…. and it’s starting NOW.
No longer will we have to buy an overpriced data just to get internet connection.
Google is already rolling out free wifi in New York as part of a trial the company hopes will eventually span across the whole world.
The internet giant has even gone as far as to set up a company specifically dedicated to the task, called Sidewalk Labs.
How will they do this you ask – through turning 10,000 of the big apple’s old phone booths into ad-supported ‘Wi-Fi pylons’.
These converted booths are also intended to provide cell-phone charging, free domestic phone calls and a touch screen information hub about the city and transit directions.
According to Bloomberg News, these ‘pylons’ will be rolled out across New York this autumn.
