Google Verizon: What’s the Goal and for Whom?
August 10, 2010
I have had a couple of media inquiries about the Google Verizon “proposal”. I don’t have much to add because in the hundreds of comments listed on Megite and TechMeme, you have more speculation, opinions, and factoids that I have goose feathers.
I would point out that pundits will want to locate a copy of the July 2010 document “Google Fiber to the Home Request for Information: Think Big with a Gig.” One of the comments in this document puts the Google Verizon in a useful context is the discussion of vendor disqualification, page 7 and following.
The threads are Google’s broadband “experiments”, Verizon, Apple, and rich media. With more information, Google can make more informed decisions that enable Google to achieve its corporate goals.
The chatter about issues not germane to Google’s goals is interesting, just not particularly relevant. Information warfare rages.
