Wouldn't it be Cool...

freegoogleinternet image1The speculation started a few years ago when news started circulating that Google was involved with setting up free Internet service for the residents of San Francisco, California. With this free Internet service set up, a great test market is being born in the Golden Gate city as to the social, political, and economic ramifications of a ubiquitous, wireless, free Internet service for all.

3 possible alternatives to a free global Internet...

Of all the companies in the world who could provide free, global Internet service - I would come up with a very short list - either Google or Microsoft. 

An alternative would be free Internet service provided regionally by a variety of sponsors - such as T-Mobile for parks in New York City, or Verizon for particular geographical regions.  Some observers and trend-watchers see this alternative as a more probable reality than one giant, global Internet under the sponsorship of a Google or a Microsoft.

Another alternative for a free Internet coule happen under the umbrella of governments - perhaps working in conjunction with a world organization like the United Nations.  For as information becomes more available, and computation and the Internet ubiquitous - I feel that a free internet will be as much of a human right as the air we breathe.

Again, in line with the disclaimer at the top of each webpage - FreeGoogleInternet.com has no relationship whatsoever to Google, Inc.  It is just an attempt to think about the forest instead of the trees - to speculate about the possibility of a free, global Internet - a wonderful gift to the citizens of the world from the world's largest Internet search engine - Google.
