Perhaps it's time for Google to find a smarter city or county
government to do business with and bail out of SF. I doubt they'd
even have to go out of the San Francisco Bay Area to find one.

S.F. stalling Wi-Fi plans, Google executive charges
· Verne Kopytoff, Chronicle Staff Writer

An executive for Google Inc. says San Francisco’s plan to offer free
wireless Internet access to residents is being delayed by a slow-
moving city bureaucracy five months after the company won a high-
profile contract for the project alongside partner EarthLink Inc. In
an interview with The Chronicle, Chris Sacca, who leads Google’s
special projects, voiced frustration with what he called the city’s
slow negotiating style. Sacca said that talks to come up with a
final contract have advanced little since they started and that
officials have made unreasonable demands, including a request for
free computers and a share in revenues.
“Every meeting is like the first,” he said.
