Looks like Google, Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) has finally gotten into the Internet provider business after years of speculation. In what could be seen as a major push by the web search leader from providing services over the data communications lines of telecom companies to data over municipal plumbing systems, the Mountain View, Ca. company has now made available its Toilet / WiFi Internet service, affectionately called TiSP.Customers will be able to connect that murky and disgusting waste channel to airwaves all around their homes, apartments and condos to receive that free dose of WiFi wireless Internet. Instead of cabling that new Google WiFi router to some wall jack, customers can easily install the Ethernet cable from the included and packaged Google WiFi router directly into the closest commode.
This new service should allow Google to become even further entrenched in homes as it graduates from information provider to disgusting service provider -- a move that many on Wall Street have waited for. Initially, web searches used by new Google TiSP (Toilet Internet Service Provider) customers will see text ads for sundries and other toilet supplies from advertisers in their local areas.
Happy April Fool's Day.

No its true, I ordered mine pre-beta and google air shipped it. It is the fastest thing out there for wireless. Only one problem: I get a week signal every time my wife flushes!

Google offering wireless broadband service isn't too surprising. I expected Google to make a move in ISP filed for a while, especially dedicated Internet access lines. Their recent acquisitions of dark fiber and Internet hosting start-ups is indication to that. This April fool joke might be just a hint of Google's more realistic plans for the near future!
