Google's approach with this and other projects is to solve the "people problem" first -- in this case, giving people Internet access throughout the city -- and worry about money later

My entire county is going to have free wireless for everyone. Not as fast, you'd have to pay a fee for speed.

Perhaps google could require a portion of any CPU's resources to be committed to distributed computing projects in return for free Wifi service.
It could enormously increase progress for all sorts of biotech and physics distributed computing projects, as the resources are loaned to them for a fee. As is done now with supercomputers.
