Google Is a Telco–Maybe
January 2, 2009
This posting is for the dozens of US telecommunications executives who told me that Google was not adept in telephony, would never be a telephone company, and lacked the experience to deal with a specialized, sophisticated business sector. Yeah, right. I won’t mention the spectrum play, Android, or the Google phone. Nope. The big news appears in Telecom-paper.com here. You have to pay to read the short article. I won’t quote from it because I don’t need a legal eagle flapping in my face. I have not been able to confirm this story from the Netherlands. Hopefully, the item will be picked up by other Web logs and maybe a newspaper, if someone on the staff takes time off from polishing résumés, selling advertising, or building Web input forms for reader submitted articles. The headline tells the tale: “Google Authorized to Offer Voice Services in Spain.”
