There’s been a lot of speculation lately about Google’s next move. Judging by this page on their site, it looks like it’s going to be wireless Internet access:
What is Google Secure Access?
Google Secure Access is a downloadable client application that allows users to establish a more secure WiFi connection.
Why would I want to download and install Google Secure Access?
Google Secure Access allows you to establish a more secure connection while using Google WiFi. By using Google Secure Access, your internet traffic will be encrypted, preventing others from viewing the information you transmit.
Note that this is more than just wireless Internet access. It’s a virtual private network — which means a dramatic increase in security for users.
You can already use the very-very-beta Google WiFi in Union Square in San Francisco. (Had I but known this two weeks ago, I could have been one of the first.)
(Kudos to CNET for the scoop. They have a more comprehensive list of Google WiFi pages here.)
