Google is working with airports, wireless companies, and others across the country to provide free Wi-Fi as a holiday gift for travelers.
The upcoming Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holiday is one of the heaviest travel seasons of the year, and according to FAA estimates, over 100 million people will pass through the participating airports between now and January 15, 2010. Due to bad weather and other extenuating circumstances, travelers often have extra time on their hands in the airport after they pass through security – 70 minutes, on average. Not surprisingly, having an Internet connection during this time can make a difference.
The free Wi-Fi will be available through January 15, 2010, and it includes 47 airports. Thanks Cities on the Cheap!
