Nice find! I found the article below regarding the Governor's Island challenge, and in this article they actually mention Green Zebra...and that the advertising the Green Zebra platform allows for would pay for the project... $300,000! I wonder what GZs cut is of that $300,000...

"And in fact, one of the exciting things about the Moonshot Challenge, which we're participating in on this island, is not only do we have the high speed transmission to connect the island to Brooklyn or Manhattan, we're deploying Wi-Fi and we're working with Green Zebra. Green Zebra is one of our subcontractors, and they bring to the table two important elements.

One is the high-speed Wi-Fi, but there's a marketing element too. They're bringing sponsored advertising and we've already signed up the first $300,000 for the first year of sponsored advertising. We have another $300,000 that we're in negotiations with. So actually, this whole connectivity for the island, we totally paid for, and we'll save the taxpayer having to spend on this."
