Business 2.0 speculatated about this just over a month ago, what if Google wanted to give WiFi access to everyone? Well, according to pages found by the Washington Post and others, that theory just might turn into reality.

The Google Web site 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,” which is designed to “establish a more secure connection while using Google WiFi.”

A separate page, http://wifi.google.com/download.html, offers a free download of Google Secure Access, carrying the headline: “Your wireless connection is almost ready to use.”

Google declined to comment further.

Of course, the viral spread of the news across the net prompted the search engine giant to remove the download page. Alas, it is no more … for now. But the FAQ is still live, for the curious.
