This holiday season, Google is sponsoring free wi-fi at 47 airports and on every Virgin America flight. The free wi-fi will likely be supported by soft ads, like encouraging you to try Chrome, or use Google for your default search engine. So, if you don’t mind that, you can probably save yourself a few dollars while your plane is delayed. You could also win some prizes:
Starting Monday, November 16, 2009, you’ll be able to win prizes by submitting a photo of yourself using the WiFi in any participating airport or on a Virgin America flight. In addition to being able to win great stuff, we’ll feature winning photos on this website.
Google is also asking people to contribute to charities. Google will match contributions made via their free wi-fi up to $250,000.
