Google Gives free WiFi to Holiday Travelers at 47 Airports (including BUF)

WIFI

Because Google loves you, and wants you to know that somethings really are free with no strings attached (*cough), this Holiday travel season you will be able to enjoy free WiFi at one of 47 participating airports. Additionally, through the holiday season (’til January 15, 2010) All Virgin flights will have free WiFi.

Tearing up at the generosity of Google? Well let them flow because Google is also making it possible for users enjoying free wifi to give back:

“travelers will have the option make a donation to Engineers Without Borders, the One Economy Corporation or the Climate Savers Computing Initiative. Google will match the donations made across all the networks up to $250,000, and the airport network that generates the highest amount per passenger by January 1, 2010 will receive $15,000 to donate to the local nonprofit of their choice.”

For a list of all 47 participating airports (I checked, and Buffalo International Airport is on the list… WEEE) go to www.freeholidaywifi.com. The free gift starts Monday, November 15th.
