Google ditches its free WiFi service in South Africa, three months after launch
I don't really know why Google, a company, is doing what should be done by the government with no clear benefit to the bottom line. This is not to say they shouldn’t do this, but if you look at it that way, it shouldn't be surprising at all.If they really wanted to help they probably should have teamed up with the government to ensure that there is government buy in to the program.
