Google needs all the good PR it can get, these days. I'd be willing to pour money into ventures like this if I was in their position, too.


Google has been working on WiFi projects for a long time. They have enough good PR outside HN, no need to trivialize when a company takes up a good project.


No need to not call out PR marketing when you see it in the wild.

It's fine praise a company that does good, but don't act as if these companies are doing it out of pure kindness of their heart when they have legal shareholders to account for.
