If they pay me enough I'll do it despite objections from the wireless industry and some consumer groups. Nothing like a big middle finger to the WISPs of the USA.

Re: [WISPA] FCC to put Free Wireless web access on table?
If Google would start a partnership program where service providers could offer a free Internet service in exchange for a revenue split with Google for ads inserted into web content streams then we would have a viable option for delivering free Internet. Google has the technology to make this work. I know from my experiences with my Google Adsense account for search that Google makes money from ads and is willing to share in that system. All they need to do is offer a network / affiliate arrangement just like the broadcast networks / local affiliates do with television and radio. Internet can work the same way if the planets align properly. I do not mind giving Internet away to everyone as long as we all share in the upside. I have a feeling that greed will kill this idea though. Everybody wants their piece of the pie to be the largest. Until Google understands the amount of time and money required to properly operate a network I fear they will not value our contributions fairly. We are the stepchildren of broadband. I hope we do not all turn into pumpkins at midnight at the Free Internet Ball.

FCC chairman Kevin Martin gets a lot of free publicity for a goal that can't be met by an legitimate wireless business. As far as I'm concerned, it's nothing more than blatant political posturing.

100% political pandering. Let's continue work on getting Internet of any sort to all of America, first. That's not gonna happen for free.
