Google Wireless Network Goes Down During Press Day

Elinor Mills writes on the C|Net Google Blog:

One day a year the notoriously reticent top Google executives invite journalists to their Mountain View, Calif., campus to discuss the company's products and strategy, and to answer what ideally will be probing questions.

However, on this much anticipated day, Wednesday, the Google wireless network wasn't working for group of about 100 journalists, many of whom were expecting to file stories remotely from the event.

After giving a regulatorily required financial disclosure statement, a red-faced but jocular Elliot Schrage, vice president of global communications and public affairs, said: "For example, we know the wireless doesn't work and we are fixing it."
