Google Will Give Freebies – and Ads – to Orlando Airport Travelers

Google is about to set up electronic shop at Orlando International Airport bringing passengers more free Internet services, new smart-phone apps and even free international phone calls from international gate areas.



The Internet search-engine giant and the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority are negotiating a two-year deal that would have Google sponsor the airport's existing free Wi-Fi Internet service and provide a variety of other new services. In return, Google would pay the airport at least $125,000 a year.



According to a proposal outlined to the GOAA board on Wednesday, as many as 50 free Internet–surfing kiosks would be sprinkled around the airport terminal complex, including at the airsides, so people without laptop computers or smart phones could get online.
