Google recently announced Google Station, a suite of tools designed to make it easy to create, maintain and log in to Wi-Fi networks at places like parks, airports and coffee shops. And they’re not alone, for example GoGoGuest also recently launched to help coffee shops manage Wi-Fi usage.
It’s not surprising that Google and others are trying to improve public Wi-Fi. Consumers have a ravenous appetite for Wi-Fi, and expect a good Wi-Fi connection to be anywhere and everywhere. Unfortunately, many small businesses and distributed enterprises don’t have the technical expertise to set up their own networks properly.
