December 30th, 2009 admin

Google is “just scratching the surface” with Google Voice, Bradley Horowitz, VP of Product Management, said today on eWeek.com , and will move aggressively next year to further blur the line between telephony and the Internet. And as the search giant turns voice into an application and dives deeper into carriers’ domain, network operators will have to find ways to leverage their networks and provide competing apps and services or be relegated to simply pushing…

Google and Verizon’s Net Neutrality Compromise is Pretty Weak
Google and Verizon have agreed to a compromise on network neutrality that lays out seven principles tied to how operators can manage traffic on their networks. As expected, the compromise makes network neutrality enforceable on wireline networks, without extending the same to wireless. However, the agreement does ask for transparency in network...

As Data Overtakes Voice, Mobile Costs Rise
Chances are you’re using your cellphone more for data purposes than voice calls these days. That’s a shift we’ve covered here before, and one that New York Times reiterates by noting that last year, the amount of data in the form of texts, email, video and web surfing surpassed the total amount used for basic voice communication...

How to Make Google Matter in Social Media
Google has had its share of social media flops , and many smart analysts think the search giant just doesn’t have “social” in its nature.

The Google Phone Won’t Open Up the Wireless Industry
I had hoped that today’s announcement of Google’s phone would be another iPhone-like bomb set to disrupt wireless carriers and bring a future of affordable, open and ubiquitous mobile connectivity to pass. Apple pried open the carrier ecosystem with the iPhone, and its decisions to open up geolocation information and create an app...

Are We Getting Closer to an All-VoIP Mobile Phone?
Are We Getting Closer to an All-VoIP Mobile Phone?
When it comes to mobile, time is literally money. Carriers like AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile and the rest make us pay based on how many minutes we use — or in the case of prepaid plans, expect to use. If we want to talk more, we can expect to pay more. But VoIP over 3G networks could drastically change that. Callers could place...

Google today announced an audacious plan to build what is essentially the most cutting-edge broadband network in the United States.

Google this week took another step toward getting its own Android-based handset, the Nexus One, on as many U.S. carriers as possible.
