Google has submitted a proposal to offer free wireless Internet service to the city of San Francisco.


According to the New York Times report, “The Mountain View, Calif.-based company filed an application late Friday to provide wireless, or “WiFi,” service that would enable anyone in San Francisco to connect to the Internet”.

Chris Sacca, a new-business development executive at Google, said, “Offering a free service like this is a great way to support the Bay Area. We don’t have any plans outside of the Bay Area”.

He said the company expected to compete with a number of providers for the right to offer the new city service.

Nate Tyler, Google Spokesman, said, “Unwiring San Francisco is a way for Google to support our local Bay Area community. It is also an opportunity to make San Francisco a test-ground for new location-based applications and services that enable people to find relevant information exactly when and where they need it”.
