Aside from the Gmail Paper, Google launched another joke in celebration of April Fools. And they called it Google TiSP! The Toilet Internet Service Provider! Here is a snippet of their press release:
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 1, 2007 – Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) today announced the launch of Google TiSP (BETA)â„¢, a free in-home wireless broadband service that delivers online connectivity via users’ plumbing systems. The Toilet Internet Service Provider (TiSP) project is a self-installed, ad-supported online service that will be offered entirely free to any consumer with a WiFi-capable PC and a toilet connected to a local municipal sewage system. More.
You can find more information about this Google’s hot product here. I like their FAQ. Indeed, Google knows some toilet humor. Hehehe.

Sure, everyone can have a big laugh about this, but TiSP is a blatant rip-off:

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!
