Katie Fehrenbacher was lucky enough to get invited to test out Google's free wi-fi service around the Mountain View California area. She was testing it out, and says that there is ample signal strength. She is set to drive around a bit and try out the different locations that are marked on Google's Mountain View wifi coverage map. In order to download the the Google Secure Access, and start using Google's wi-fi, you must log on to https://wifi.google.com/download.html at a Google wi-fi network point and download the Google Secure Access VPN client.
The main purpose of Google's wi-fi project is the outdoor use; however, there are supposedly instructions in Katie's invitation that speak about pulling in signals for indoor coverage using a high power wifi modem. Stay tuned for Katie's Google testing tour around Mountain View.
