PC World reports that a few hundred Trusted Testers will start providing feedback on Google's Wi-Fi network: The network won't carry advertising, will require a login, and isn't designed for interior use--although a bridge might allow that. Google is paying all the associated costs. They'll release their VPN client, at long last, to use over the network (Windows only at first). PC World says that Mountain View residents have received a "blizzard of promotion deals" for broadband service from Comcast and AT&T.
I heard on TWiT someone with a great inside contact said Google has free nationwide wifi plans ready to roll, they were just waiting on a significant event like the stupid net neutrality legislation.
No wonder the other broadband providers are scared. You say you want a revolution?
