Google Inc. announced today that they will be spreading a little holiday cheer with a gift of free Wifi access in select airports, now through January 15, 2010.

We haven’t even hit Thanksgiving yet… kudos to Google.

Their gift will span 47 airports across the country including: Las Vegas, San Jose, Boston, Baltimore, Burbank, Houston, Indianapolis, Seattle, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, St. Louis and Charlotte.

Free WiFi is sure to be welcomed, with over 100 million people estimated to travel through participating airports through January 15, 2010. Google is happy to put traveler’s concerns of connecting with friends and family at ease during the hectic holiday season. Hopefully that’s how it works out…

If weather presents any major flight complications, airports will find themselves with an excess of travelers killing time with the free internet access…or at least attempting to.

We can only hope Google is anticipating potential heavy traffic of internet users for the holiday season. Google may not receive the gratitude they are hoping for if connections are slow and interrupted. Either way, it’s a commendable holiday gesture on behalf of Google.
