By now you’ve no doubt heard that Google is blanketing Mountain View, California, with the best kind of WiFi connection available: the free kind. Well, we find it interesting the lengths the company is going to, to ensure that signal is available everywhere. They’ve reportedly already installed around 250 access points, in places such as traffic lights, utility poles and streetlights (as pictured).

The service is currently being Beta tested by about 100 people, including A-lister Om Malik. For your browsing enjoyment, here’s a Google Maps based map of the access points, as well as a dandy FAQ.
