Be optimistic. The service is still testing only in two places in Mountain View, CA - there's nothng for people from the US yet either.

And as usual, nothing for MacOS users.

I hate google now. They screwed us with the ads, locked us out of about 300$

believe me, google are no suckers, there is no such thing free lunch.
google use sophisticated spiders to follow traffic from the internet services they provide for free, hence making ad sence smarter and getting useful statistics about users.

about the static ips, you are letting ipv6 get out of your mind, this protocol will enevtualy take over and will allow static ips for alot more users.
Long live and prosper.

yea, i agree whit you. They would give something for free if they dont get anything out of it. I heard that you gota use google toolbar to use that free WiFi, so google toolbar and you on their service.... Shocked
They would know every setp of yours, but they wont sell or giveawey that info ( maybe to ucle Sam Razz ) Whit that infos they would make a perfect ads for you that you would like and probobly click on it, and toolbar will stop ads of other companys... = More mony for Google again Wink
Or maybe in future you would need to use Google browser for accessing that WiFi or maybe google OS or you would need to ware Google T-shirt whit ads on it ...etc
Btw krod why did they do that ? they know that this is free shell account service ( and famouse one Razz ) so why are they locking it ?
im lazy to build that fancy sign Razz
