Wi-Fi war by search engine companies

On upcoming holiday season, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft as the owner of most leading search engines try to attract internet user to use their service. The way is offering free Wi-Fi access in some areas in US.

Microsoft is the first to break out this idea in last September. This biggest software vendor started offer up this service in some places in United States where internet user can freely browse the internet if they use Bing to search over the internet at least once.

Then, Google starts that service on November 11 in 47 airports in the US cities include Las Vegas, Boston, Burbank, Indianapolis, Miami, Orlando, Charlotte, San Jose, Baltimore, Houston, Seattle, Ft. Lauderdale, and St. Louis in corporate with Boingo Wireless. The free Wi-Fi will continue to serve air travelers until January 15 except in Burbank and Seattle, where the free Wi-Fi will be there forever, if Google can help it.


Free Google Wi-Fi is also available for Virgin America Airways passengers and all the free Wi-Fi by Google will be available until January 15, 2010.

Meanwhile, Yahoo also launched the free Wi-Fi service on the same date as Google and now available only on Time Square, New York City, but it would be forever service from Yahoo. Hopefully, these three giant of internet companies will consider offer their free Wi-Fi service to other countries which have significant internet user, not only in US.
