Google Gives Free WiFi in 47 Airports
For this holiday, air travelers will enjoy the free WiFi at the airports and in flight, courtesy of Google, eBay and Lexus…
Google is planning to foot the bill for WiFi at 47 of the nation’s airports for the rest of the year, beginning Tuesday.
"This is one of our holiday gifts to our users, and when you connect, we also hope you’ll take the opportunity to try some of the latest Google products," the company said in a statement.
The gift comes with a little trade-off, upon signing in, users will be asked if they want to set Google as their homepage or try the Google Chrome browser, I think we can live with.
Last month it partnered with Virgin America to give the airline’s customers free access to Gogo’s Inflight Internet.
In a similar move, eBay said it will provide free WiFi through Gogo on more than 250 domestic Delta Airline flights during the busiest travel week of the year, over the Thanksgiving holiday. From Nov. 24-30, flyers who log in will be taken to eBay’s holiday-themed homepage and invited to "complete your holiday shopping while still en-route to your Thanksgiving destination."
Car maker Lexus wrapped up one week of complimentary Internet on American Airlines flights on Friday. The promotion coincided with the introduction of the 2010 Lexus LS line.
