Free internet for everyone! Google’s Project offers free, superfast WiFi Internet to the World!
The plan is to convert over 10,000 New York phone booths into ‘WiFi Pylons’ which will broadcast free Internet access to anyone within 150 feet. Besides free internet, the booths are also intended to provide free cell-phone charging, free domestic phone calling and a touchscreen-based information hub that provides you everything you need to know abofut the city and transit directions.
Sidewalk labs is leading a group of investors acquiring Control Group and Titan, companies working to cover New York City with free internet. Each WiFi pylon will deliver advertising on the sides through Titan’s advertising network which is expected to bring $500,000,000 in advertisement revenue to the city of the next 12 years.
If this project proves a success in New York City, then Google will step forward to roll out similar programs in other cities around the world.
