No more guessing your next door neighbours' network password or buying the cheapest drink available at the bar, just so you can connect to their internet. Google wants to bring free wifi to the whole world.

Their major and ambitious project is reportedly going to start in New York City. The tech giant will transform 10,000 of the old phone booths into 'ad-supported wifi pylons'. A new company has been set up to oversee the development called Sidewalk Labs.

 

 

CEO Dan Doctoroff said:

 

It was formed to look at the confluence of the physical and digital world to solve urban problems. The idea is to use technology not to make cities all the same, but enhance what makes them unique and individual.

 

 

Not only will these be made into wireless hotspots but they will also allow people to charge their phones, make free domestic phone calls and access an information hub for public transport and other info about the city.

The first ones are expected to be installed as early as this Autumn. If this works, we could see it introduced globally.
