Google Station - Google planning to bring ad-based “fast Wi-Fi for everyone” to South Africa

Google Station is a platform which makes it easy to roll out safe and protected Wi-Fi hotspots in public places by providing its partners with software and hardware support. Google works with network operators, fibre providers, system integrators, and other partners to offers its Google Station Wi-Fi service across the world. Google Station also offers monetization opportunities to its partners by displaying advertising to people who use these hotspots.

So yes it is ad-baed like many other Goof=gle services (and Facebook) but means that people with juts a phone/device with WiFi and possibly no cellular contract, will be able to get Internet access.
