Google Offering Free WiFi in Airports This Christmas
Google just keeps on giving!
Just before Halloween, Google announced that it would be providing free WiFi on all Virgin America flights over the holiday period. Today the company announced that it would provide free WiFi at 47 airports around the country.
Starting today and running through until January 15, Google, together with Boingo Wireless, Advanced Wireless Group, Airport Marketing Income are providing those traveling home for the holidays with free WiFi in nearly 50 airports around America.
Those of you interested in giving back can donate money any of the three non-profits Google has selected. These are Climate Savers Computing, One Economy Corporation and Engineers Without Borders USA. Once connected you'll see a link to donate via Google Checkout. At the end of the program (you know, when January rolls around and we're all flat broke), Google will match the donations, donating up to a maximum $250,000 across the three non-profits. The airport that collects the most will also receive $15,000 to donate to a charity of their choice.

It's good news especially for those who are forced to wait long hours because of delayed flight(s). Also, it seems like a nice gesture(present) from Google. Well, at least for those who will have such a service, since not all airports will have. Probably the most used and well-known will have such.
Looking forward to such.
