Google WiFi in the works?

Is this rumour true? I think so, it makes sense. Ubiquitous WiFi for all manner of tech devices is coming fast. For instance your WiFi equipped personal digital assistant (PDA) will be handed off from network to network as you roam through major cities.

GoogleNet--massive Google WiFi in the works?: Wireless Google align="right" vspace="16" border="0">

Suddenly Google local (and maps, and video, and so on) makes so much more sense—Business 2.0 reports that they’ve
learned from ‘telecom insiders’ that Google is hard at work on a nation-wide high-capacity data network, buying up
unused fiber lines and cheap backbone access to really flesh out their capacity. B2 theorizes this could result in a
massive digital video db, on-demand television (IPTV) system, or free ad-based WiFi network, which in conjunction with
location-tracking hotspot firm Feeva, has already been pilot launched in San Francisco serving up Google Local-based
ads. Could Google really power not just Internet search, but a sizable portion of the Internet? Beats us, but if they
want to make it happen, they better get that AdSense click fraud thing sorted out asap.
