The same way they have made money from the beginning. Giving it all away for free!!! At least on the front end of things......
Google makes money in reverse and LOTS of it. Trust me, my man, Google is no brainless bunch. There is a lot of money in "Free". I'm sure they have an angle to make the big bucks off of it and at the same time presenting themselves as the benevolent Google that is adored by everyone worldwide. Well, except maybe the Chinese who Google censored. Oh, and possibly the rest of the world including the US if Google teams up with the NSA as last reported...... But still, just a bunch of friendly helpful guys out to give it all away for free!

The search company said Wednesday that its fiber-optic broadband networks will deliver speeds of 1 gigabit per second to as many as 500,000 Americans. Google Inc. says those systems will be more than 100 times faster than the networks that most Americans have access to today. In a blog post, the company said the networks will let consumers download a high-definition, full-length feature film in less than five minutes and allow rural health clinics to send 3-D medical images over the Web. Google says it will seek input from communities that might be interested in getting one of the testbed networks. ****end of article http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100210/ap_on_hi_te/us_tec_google_broadband_netw ork sounds very dot commy to me: Best price on a 1G pipe is about 1K-5K within a NOC.
