Google has been testing wifi connection speed
https://fi.google.com/about/network/ There are lots of Wi-Fi hotspots out there but not all of them are
high-quality. Project Fi automatically connects you to more than a million free, open Wi-Fi hotspots we've verified as fast and reliable. This technology helps keep your speed high and your data bill low—whenever you're on Wi-Fi, you're not charged for data usage.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-google-wifi-fine-idUSBRE92B0VX20130312 Google Inc will pay $7 million to 38 states and the District of Columbia to
settle an investigation into a controversial incident in which its Street View mapping cars collected passwords and other personal data from home wireless networks between 2008 and 2010.
Since EFF has recently condemned T-mobile, I thought it would be time to condemn Google. This provides greater context to Google's efforts to collect data on wifi networks. Such a program would allow to create a database of ip addresses each wifi network uses, and allows for a greater degree of mass surveillance.
