Google is bringing consumers across the Unites States an early Christmas gift as they announce the availability of free wifi in 47 airports including Las Vegas, San Jose, Boston, Baltimore, Burbank, Houston, Indianapolis, Seattle, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, St. Louis and Charlotte. Additionally, as a result of this project, Burbank and Seattle airports will begin offering airport-wide free Wi-Fi indefinitely.
Will Canada Have Free Public WiFi?
I asked Google’s public relations person if they’d also be bringing WiFi to Canadian airports this holiday season and was told while they don’t have any specific plans they are not ruling it out in the future.
The recent move by Google did trigger Microsoft and Yahoo to launch similar free public WiFi offerings recently. Microsoft is teaming 
up with provider JiWire in airports to offer its free WiFi, as long as users use Bing for at least one search. Yahoo is offering free WiFi for an entire year in New York City’s Times Square.
Here in Canada there have been a number of providers including Rogers, Toronto Wireless and most recently Vex Canada entering the market place. Each having a slightly different business model that will allow consumers to be always connected.
