Google Station aims to Bring Fast Wi-Fi Everywhere!
Google wants every public place on the planet to have fast
Wi-Fi service!
Less than one year after Google began connecting railway
stations in India with free Wi-Fi service, the company introduced a similar
program to bring fast Wi-Fi service across the world. The company plans to
bring fast Wi-Fi service to cafes, malls and all other places with a new
initiative it calls Google Station.
At the company's second instalment of Google for India event
in New Delhi, Caesar Sengupta (VP of Google’s Next Billion Plan) said the
company is opening the platform to anyone and everyone who has a good internet
connection.
The inspiration for Google Station came from the success of
Google's partnership with Indian Railways to provide free Wi-Fi services at
railway stations in India. Currently, Google claims, the service is live in 52
stations and over 3.5 million users use it every month. Google also reckons
that 15,000 people in India access the internet for the first time using the
free Wi-Fi service every day.
On the Google Station website, Google urges people to
connect with the company, and discuss how they can help bring internet to more
people. It also has plans to offer monetary benefits to its partners.
"We'll be partnering with large venues and organizations, network operators, fiber providers, system integrators and infrastructure companies.”
