Google Funds $600k Wireless Hotspots In SF

Google providing another city with free wireless hotspots? It kinda makes you wonder what the hell most of these cities would do without Google?
Google has previously funded public wireless projects in its home city of Mountain View, California, in New York Chelsea's neighborhood and around Boston's South Station. The search giant is based 30 miles away from San Francisco but employs hundreds of workers who commute from the city.
