　　Google is bringing free WiFi hotspots to Mexico

　　l Google is implementing free WiFi zones in Mexico with its Google Station network.

　　l The country is the first stop in Latin America for Google's WiFi launch.

　　l Mexico is Google Station's third market after India and Indonesia.

　　Alphabet's Google said on Tuesday that it will launch(启动/发起) a network of free Wi-Fi hotspots(Wifi热点) across Mexico, part of the search giant's(搜索巨头) effort to improve connectivity(链接) in emerging markets(新兴市场) and put its products in the hands of more users.

　　Google Station, an ad-supported(依赖于广告支持的) network of Wi-Fi hotspots in high-traffic locations(交通繁忙的地段), is launching in Mexico with 56 hotspots and others planned, the company said.

　　Mexico will be Google Station's third market following India and Indonesia, and the first in Latin America.

　　Mexico has made great strides in(在......方面取得重大进步) connectivity since a 2013-14 telecom reform intended to loosen(放松/减轻) the grip(控制) of billionaire(亿万富翁) Carlos Slim's America Movil, which has long dominated the market(主宰市场).

　　From 2013 to 2016, the number of people accessing the Internet in Mexico rose by 20 million, according to a report last fall by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. Still, the country lags behind(落后于) other OECD nations in terms of internet access, the report said.

　　*经济合作与发展组织(Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development )，简称经合组织(OECD)，是由34个市场经济国家组成的政府间国际经济组织，旨在共同应对全球化带来的经济、社会和政府治理等方面的挑战，并把握全球化带来的机遇。成立于1961年，目前成员国总数34个，总部设在巴黎。

　　"We are finding that public Wi-Fi remains still a very important way to get online," Anjali Joshi, a vice president for product management at Google, told reporters.

　　She added that Google saw Mexico as a good entrypoint(切入点) for the product in Latin America. Mexico-based SitWifi provided equipment for the hotspots.

　　Google's initial batch(首批) of Wi-Fi zones is scattered across the country(分散于全国), from the Ciudad Juarez airport at the U.S. border(位于美国边境) to posh(时尚的) shopping centers in Mexico City.

　　Google Station now counts roughly(大约) 8 million users a month in India, where the program began in 2016.
