Google providing free airport WiFi this holiday season
To help people enjoy this holiday season Google, Boingo Wireless, Advanced Wireless Group, Airport Marketing Income and others are providing free WiFi across airports in the United States. 47 airports are currently included in the program, including Las Vegas, San Jose, Boston, Baltimore, Burbank, Houston, Indianapolis, Seattle, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, St. Louis and Charlotte. The program is active now and runs through 15 January 2010.
In the spirit of giving, when you login you will also have the chance to make a donation to Engineers Without Borders, the One Economy Corporation or the Climate Savers Computing Initiative. Google will match the donations made across all the networks up to $250,000, and the airport network that generates the highest amount per passenger by January 1, 2010 will receive $15,000 to donate to the local nonprofit of their choice.
