SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Internet giant Google is offering to cloak its home city in Silicon Valley with free wireless "Wi-Fi" computer service, the company confirmed.

Google's proposal to "unwire the city" will be considered by the Mountain View city council on Tuesday, according to Ellis Berns, manager of economic development in the town where Google has its headquarters.
"Right now, we can't see a downside," Berns told AFP. "It seems like a pretty positive deal for the city."
