In a joint press conference with Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Senator Chuck Schumer, Google revealed its new project of bringing free Wi-Fi service to the Chelsea neighborhood in New York City.

Following a recent acquisition to provide Wi-Fi in Kansas City, all eyes are on Google to revolutionize wireless service market which has disappointed many Americans with slow and shoddy internet connections. Google’s Kansas project will provide locals with a connection speed of 1 gigabit per second which is 200 times faster than an average broadband connection in the US.
