Wed - Google accidentally reveals WiFi plan?

Looks like Google is prpearing to launch a wireless internet service called Google WiFi after all, according to pages found on their website.

The Google website has several references to Google WiFi, but provides few details. One page (http://wifi.google.com/faq.html) refers to a product called "Google secure access", designed to "establish a more secure connection while using Google WiFi".

Becoming a wireless access provider seems to be quite a stretch for Google, but they have boatloads of cash available and huge technical resources, so, I guess for now, why not. It will allow them to lock customers in even tighter, assuming they buy into Google WiFi.
