Could one other possibility be "internet satellites?" I mean, if they could half the time required to request pages or data they could truly make a wi-fi internet access worldwide. Why not allow a few of these to be sent up, connected to the transceivers (or make their own) and then rent or sell space and processor power to corporations? Then their data could be accessible and/or speed up cached pages?
(idea #2)
Or they might just want to make a "broken link web server" that caches current web pages - if you go to a link that is broken - go to Google and query "Broken Links" to see what it said? (more useful as time goes on - not now obviously - but ten years from now it may be worth a lot! What did that tech page say, what did that link go to... sorta something like that)
Just my two cents!
