Google is looking into the possibility of providing municiple WiFi networks for the Playstation Portable and other devices.
One device in Google's crosshairs is Sony's PSP game platform. "There's like five million of those in the U.S. now, they've all got Wi-Fi in them. We're trying to do what we can to make those devices able to log on to this network," Sacca said.
Unfortunately (for me), Google's first test site will be San Francisco and not Denver. Come on Google, we love WiFi in Denver. Bring it on.
The possibility of residents accessing a Google-provided municipal network via Sony's popular PSP gaming platform is among Google's hopes as it seeks to build a bigger Wi-Fi network in nearby San Francisco that is free to both the city and users. The company is working through the city's RFP (Request for Proposal) process. There, as in Mountain View, Google is finding a number of political and technical hurdles, Sacca said.
Let's hope they come up with a good business model and can roll this out nationwide. I need a little more on the go SOCOM.
