GoogleNet

Wow!! This is a cool idea... Google are implementing wi-fi by basically attaching wireless hubs on the top of select lamp-posts. They've been given access to rent 400 posts to allow for wireless access for the people of Mountain View.

This is another traffic analysing strategy of Google together with Web Accelerator and Google Analytics to try to get a better understanding of what people access online and the behaviour of online users. Obviously they are going to use an AI to do it so that they can better place their ads and get a much better match to what people are interested in.

I haven't read their privacy policy for this wi-fi network but I read somewhere that although they dont store traffic data...they DO store the list of sites that people access. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
