The point of the article is a new move by Google into yet another sector of information suppliers. GoogleNet (hence the title of this entry) aims to put free Wi-Fi wireless service across the country. Google gains the advantage of serving contextual ads targeted specifically at an individual’s physical location, with the hopes of increasing ad revenue by increasing the potential ROI of local advertising dollars. It could also expand Google’s overall market in the ad space by tempting the “last-mile” of small businesses that likely haven’t seen any advantage to the current methods of targeted internet advertising. In addition to potential ad revenue growth, Google will be helping to deliver broadband to a much broader audience, which increases the market for new applications such as video searches and Google Earth. According to company officials, there is no immediate threat of existing ISPs, who would likely find it difficult to compete with a free broadband service, but merely another attempt to fulfill the company’s mission to “organize the world's information and make it universally useful and accessible”. Competition is a great thing… just until they introduce a human-like machine who’s secret mission is to go back in time and eliminate Sarah Connor.
