"'Tis the season for free Wi-Fi. Earlier this morning we reported that Google has started offering free Wi-Fi to holiday travelers at US airports starting now and extending through January 15th. That's in addition to their free in-flight Wi-Fi holiday promotion with Virgin America.\nInterestingly enough, however, today also happens to be the start of a major free Wi-Fi campaign from Yahoo, who has partnered with the Times Square Alliance to offer visitors and locals alike free Wi-Fi in Times Square, New York.The Wi-Fi from Yahoo promotion, which you can use from your laptop or mobile device, kicked off this morning at 8am EST and will continue throughout all of 2010.\nWe think the promotion is a smart play by the company, which hopes to see the 500,000 daily visitors to the Time Square area use their internet-enabled devices to not only access the web, but to use Yahoo as their starting point for browsing. The company has even created a specialized start page with news and content tailored to Times Square denizens.\nUnfortunately, the timing of Google's announcement somewhat outshines the Yahoo news, but we certainly expect travelers and residents to jump at the opportunity to use the free Wi-Fi. Whether or not they will prolong their relationship with Yahoo once they leave Times Square, remains to be seen."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
