Google Wi-Fi Celebrates Its Third Anniversary

PCMag points out that Google's public wireless network has completed ts third year of operation this month in the Mountain View, CA area. Compared to municipal Wi-Fi projects in other cities, GoogleWiFi appears to be doing remarkably well. The service supports many thousands of users and an increasing traffic load, and it remains free. Not surprisingly, a significant fraction of the network's growth is being driven by use of wireless handheld devices like iPhones rather than by more Wi-Fi laptops alone.
