A colleague just sent me a couple of links to what at first appeared to be an offer from Google for FREE in-home wireless broadband service.

I briefly glanced at the page and thought, “interesting”.. then on closer inspection.. well, take a look:

.. and of course, let’s not forget the press release:

April Fools Day jokes in an online world where really, really weird things happen every day can be a little hard to discern at times, but I think most people would have cottoned onto to Google’s contributions quite quickly. You’d hope so anyway
