I personally think this is a great idea. If you are a tourist in the City it would be nice to have such pin point information.

That's pretty chickenshit. Why would the city of San Fran agree to that?

Slow speeds, get adware inundated and have google record your every keystroke. I wanna use that service. :(
Big huge diff between adware and add supported ware. They will likly use a system like free i and net zero did few years back. The dialer they used had a banner add that would come up when you connected it was 10x10 pixels smaller than typical website banner adds of the time. The ad software was only active when your connection was even when you had the dialer minimized to systemtray the app for the banner was not running. Cant recall the exact name but was pretty obvious somethign along the lines of adsystem.exe. When you closed out the dialer completly it was very obvious it was all gone as all that was left running was your normal procs your comp would have had (in my case windows 98 at the time).

I dont know why people are so quick to call ad supported software and service spyware or adware or any thing of the sort.

Many people use the ad supported opera browser yet dont call it adware or spyware infested. Yet google and earthlink decide to run a trial on wireless broadband for free supported by ads and every one jumps to the conclusion that its spyware.

Now thats not to say this service isnt going to suck for other reasons. The could go the route netzero did with their free dial up isp and disconnect you if you covered up the banner with any on top window such as full screen only games. I beleive netzero still does this i know juno who is in buiss with them does this and these are now paid only isps. Sorry if i pay for a isp i dnt want advertisments splatered on my screen and i sure as hell dont want my net restritec to only web browsers and email clients no thanks.

Maybe they will have a bit of a brain and use a pop up dialog for you to click every 2 or 3 hours.

For a FREE citywide wireless network 300kbps is pretty good. As for spyware, either correct your machine like 80% of DSLR has already done with anti-spyware software, or switch to OS X and don't worry about spyware.

I implore you to point out the disadvantages for using the FREE google/earthlink wifi to check my e-mail while I'm in the marina district or hanging out in Golden Gate Park? You're just trying to find a reason to bitch about Google, and it's a stretch at that!
