Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Google celebrates its first year of WiFi
It's been a year since the folks at Google successfully knocked off WiFi in Mountain View California. Transmitting all those great 802.11 b/g signals to the grateful residents, businesses and visitors at absolutely no charge at all. They are still trucking along on the San Francisco wireless deal with EarthLink and the city to give all residents free connections to the internet, but who knows when that will all be resolved.Nevertheless, Google is on a mission to provide top notch WiFi networks, but what exactly does it take? Well, in Mountain View there are over 400 mesh routers that cover 12 square miles and 25,000 homes, with 15,000 unique users per month. Traffic over this free network has risen 10% every month and handles 300 gigabytes of data each day and 95% of the routers are being used every single day.
Here's to hoping that Google someday manages to blanket San Francisco, and a few other cities with WiFi.

that would be sick if they came to chicago. Would chagne to T-mobile and get that phone that gets unlimited calls over wifi for an extra ten bucks. god i hope they win that bid and setup a network across the nation and wholesale it to people.

I'd vote for our small town, Ogdensburg, NY.
Just because we're small doesn't mean we're not important...
