Google Wifi

Google has launched a free Wi-Fi service in San Fransisco. Together with it’s Wi-Fi service, it has also launched a free VPN service so that Wi-Fi users can encrypt their over-the-air data.

Since their e-mail service is called Gmail, I wonder why they didn’t name their Wi-Fi hotspot G-Spot.

    If it really gets G-spot as its name, I wonder how one activates it…

    *evil smirk*

  • if Google ventured into the nylon and threads business, they can call themselves G-String.

    If Google buys Asus then its computers would be named G-sus.

  • G-spot!! Brilliant.

    So, are we calling Google employees G-men (and G-women) now too? Their tech experts G-wiz?

    Looks like there's a lot of lawsuits against Google recently. Know how low Google can go these days?

    G-go-lo. That's how low. Hahahaha!

    Paul,

    I'll go check it out when I drive into San Francisco this Saturday. Just got into Sunnyvale, CA. Rented a Chrysler PT Cruiser – funky car! w00t!

    Also, just had my dinner – in-n-out burger – excellent stuff! :)

    Yes, bcoz the G had raised concern over low awareness and subscribers of broadband services. The G will break the monopoly by giving opportunities to a few other companies. For the time being, only 1% of the Msian population is subscribing to broadband services. What a pity? In 5 years time, China, India , Thailand and Indo will overtake us in the IT savvy ratio, therefore our labour and professionals will be obselete in terms of IT compatitiveness.

    TM actually is going to lower the price, extended coverage, faster and in turn will attract more subscribers.
