Is Google the Future

Google has slowly bought up all the dark fiber in the US. They have bought energgy company technology to deliver telecommunication sevices to the the home. They have bought intrest in cable companies and are working on content. the have their own IM, voice service, email, and they have looked at buying a mobile company. They have also partnered with a Korean Company thats going to come out with super cheap laptops. The thinking is that they are going to offer a complete all-in one delivered to the home media center. We are talking broadband, voice, cable, games, music, news all in one. Google is the 800 pound gorilla in the room. They are going to scare the traditional old school telecom providers. Hopefully this will provide much needed competiton in the marketplace.

Speaking of competition..I ask this one question. Verizon is offering cable service in selected areas. Will they offer it to everybody. if you look at where they have gone so far they are only looking at wealthy areas. Verizon is going to offer cable to the rich and not the poor. Is that competition?? We do need to force more competition, I mean Congress hopefully with the rewrite we'll do it right this time.
