When things are free

It’s a sign that technology is become more and more common place when it can be offered for free. In 47 airports around the U.S. there will be free Wi-Fi until January 15 and it will also be available on Virgin America flights. And it’s being offered by Google.

So how does this benefit Google? Think of all the new users that will be experiencing free Wi-Fi thanks to the company. They are able to get a hands on experience without committing to the company. And Google looks good because it’s not just free stuff that’s being offered, this is also a charity promotion.

When a user logs in, he or she will have the chance to donate some money. And Google will match that donation up to $250,000 at each airport.

So get into the holiday spirit. Thanksgiving is coming up and then Christmas and Hanukkah. It’s prime time for people to be flying to family, so take advantage of the free Wi-Fi, and maybe donate a little.
