Data and density is an issue in the US. Compare the size of South Korea, and the size of the US, that's why it's easier to blanket South Korea with data networks. Google is offering ways to more seamlessly switch WiFi networks and make using a public trusted WiFi instantly. The fact is that in the US there are a lot of coverage gaps and places where a specific type of service has very bad coverage (2G or 3G). Without cell data Google Maps won't work (1 year ago, might be better now). We don't know if it will be useful yet, it might be great, it might be nothing special. They are also offering financing on a Nexus 6, I haven't done the math to see if that's worth it (doubt it), but they'll probably be making a good amount of money off of that. Most importantly it will put pressure on Verizon and ATT to lower prices and improve the value of the service, just like Google Fiber does it areas it is available in.
