Did you read the article? It was a publicity stunt by the tourism board to get Google over there to map their islands. Additionally, the OpenStreetCam domain is owned by TeleNav.

While TeleNav staff developed OpenStreetCam, the images are under an open license (unlike Google), and in fact the OSC project was set up after the OSM community complained that Mapillary, a previous open Google Street View competitor, wasn't open enough.
