Google Might Be Planning Free Nationwide Wi-Fi Since The FCC Isn’t

(Before It's News)

Rumor had it that back in February, that the Federal Communications Commission planned to make Wi-Fi free for most of the country.

The Washington Post first detailed the plan, saying it would extend free Wi-Fi to nearly every metropolitan area in the United States, along with “many rural areas.”

Without providing a great deal of detail, in theory the FCC would force local TV stations to sell chunks of airwave spectrum rights to the U.S. government, which would then use them for public Wi-Fi networks.

Clearly, such a move would be a game changer – altering the communication landscape forever. Traditional cellular networks would be drastically affected in a negative way. Conversely, Internet companies would flourish with increasing numbers of citizens using their services.
