I’m very curious to learn more about the shot they pulled with the kiosks in New York. Could you elaborate?

  First to clarify is that Google is not doing this. Alphabet is. Second is that Alphabet owns Sidewalk Labs which is the company imagining this city. Sidewalk labs owns Intersection, a billboard advertising company. Intersection is the chief bidder behind LinkNYC. LinkNYC is installing free WiFi display stands across NYC. The rest of the shot can be explained by someone else as I am not very passionate about the issue.

    Saying that Google is not doing this is disingenuous. Google is a term used for the conglomerate of Google, which includes Alphabet and due to bureaucracy it's also the "official name" of Google.

      Fair enough. But sidewalk labs was most definitely a fringe venture that should not be associated with the smaller Google.

        Stop being pedantic. It's Google.
