A year ago, Google began connecting railway stations in India with free Wi-Fi services. Now, the company has introduced a similar program, offering fast Wi-Fi across the world. Its new initiative is called Google Station, and the company has plans to bring fast Wi-Fi to public places like cafes and malls.
The motive for Google Station came from the company’s partnership with RailTel and Indian Railways to provide free Wi-Fi services at railway stations in India. Currently, the service is live in 52 locations and has over 3.5 million users every month. Google also noted that 15,000 people in India accessed the internet for the first time using the free Wi-Fi service daily.
In the initiative, Google will set up high-quality, secure, and easily accessible Wi-Fi with minimal trouble. The company also plans to partner with large venues and organizations, network operators, fiber providers, system integrators, and infrastructure companies to help bring the internet to more people.
On its website, Google urges people to connect with the company and discuss how they can provide Wi-Fi worldwide. Additionally, it plans to offer monetary benefits to its partners.
