google wifi mapToday marks the official launch of GoogleWiFi in Mountain View California. Transmitting 802.11b/g signals to the entire city, including residents, businesses and visitors, at no charge.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.
