Google WiFi+VPN Confirmed

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday September 20, 2005 @01:52AM from the only-a-matter-of-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google is actually (confirmed!) rolling out their wifi network, first in the San Francisco bay area (see the FAQ for details.) They are also including a Secure Access program for use in conjunction with this. So far, as per usual, it's in beta, and only for the San Fran bay area. Soon the entire US, perhaps??"

Google, please roll this out in my area. My neighbors finally got smart and put passwords on their wireless routers.

"Beta" means . . . by EraserMouseMan · 2005-09-20 02:16 · Score: 4, Funny

Just be happy that you got something for free. You have no right to complain about anything because we put "beta" on it even though it is far beyond beta-grade.

So 5 years from now if your Google WiFi beta connection drops out you must react in the following manner, "Hmmm. . . that's interesting. I can't communicate with my clients anymore. But I guess I can only blame myself for depending on a Google, ahem, uh, a beta product."
