Online search leader Google is preparing to launch a wireless internet service, Google WiFi, according to several pages found on the company's website on Tuesday.

For the 50millionth time google is not launching a WIFI service!!! They are no more becoming an ISP in the sense that they provide you with a free internet connection than some other proxy such as the The Anonymizer.
Google is providing a VPN service so that wireless users on insecure networks can have their data encrypted before sending it over wireless channels!!!! After which time Google will take that data and use it to augment their AdSense and other online advertising business. There is no such thing as a free lunch!!
UGGGH!!!! This was simply a good marketing technique because most people while they know what WIFI is they don't know what VPN is. Calling it Google VPN would have only attracted the most tech oriented people out there.
Right now Google is acting as both a VPN client provider and an ISP while testing the VPN client. The confusion is understandable.
Will they be so when they fully implement the VPN client? Most likely not. Even if they are, it will be limited to the sponsored are they have now.

The client software was designed to connect to the Google Wi-Fi network, which consists of a few hot spots in San Francisco created in partnership with Feeva, a startup that's in the business of providing free, ad-supported wireless services.

Thanks for clearing that up
I have been using it. pst recovery and dbx reader more stable and secure than other programs.
I don't know If I'm the only one who thinks this but doesn't it seem like google is slowly introducing an O/S in increments. All free feature downloads that everyone eats up all they have to do is roll out a bundle to download and tie all features into one fully functional O/S................
Just a little conspiracy theory.
