More on GoogleNet ...

So the "stealth" GoogleNet appears to be taking form ... see this post. I was intrigued by the notion of letting the "buzz" do the marketing for them.


ZD Net noted the following:

"Maybe Google Ads, tied to mobile presence?

"Say they know you are in NYC's Bryant Park. Bryant Park is right next to the main branch of the New York Public Library. That's a place frequented by lots of educated readers, computer users, researchers - and hmm, Google users, too.

"OK, let's think about it some more. Maybe if I am a Google salesperson in the NYC office, I visit nearby merchants and sell them Google AdWords?

"Google AdWords or Google AdSense tied to mobile presence? Definitely.

It does seem like a way of advertising for Google. Maybe they are just sponsoring the wireless access.

What does anonymous internet access imply? How does it deal with issues of abuse or misuse? Is it based on a premise of protecting the First Amendment rights?
