Google Free Wi-Fi Not Free of Critics
May 28th, 2007 by Brittany
Search engine giant Google is offering 1mbps free wi-fi internet to neighbors of its headquarters in Mountainview, California. Critics of the internet service are disappointed by the 1mbps speeds and believe Google should offer online tech support to its wi-fi users.
This humble blogger is inclined to agree with search engine marketing expert Andy Beal, who fired back at Google Wi-Fi critics in a recent post on his MarketingPilgrim website:
“For the love of Pete, people. It’s FREE! If you want whistles and bells, pay for it.”
On a side note: I hope offering free wi-fi doesn’t replace the American tradition of giving your neighbors a nice fruit cake as a welcoming gift. If so, I’ll really feel inferior because I never even bother with a fruit cake.
