I would like to do something like this, but I am too paranoid to put this device on my network. Assuming that Google is sanitizing the data is just that, an assumption.
Signed up for the device, but doubt I will use it on my entire network. I will most likely test it with wireshark to see what its really sending.
Here's how I plan to use it on my home network (if I get one):
Edit: Oops, HN doesn't like ASCII network diagrams.
Basically, I plan to stick a dumb Ethernet switch between my ISP point of demarcation and my current router, which will continue to feed my private network. Then connect the M-Lab router to the Ethernet switch and offer open Wifi for friends and family (and maybe the occasional passerby iPhone).

I wonder if this data will be made available in some form, I'm sure it could be a great source for some really nice visualizations.
