Is Google Building, It`s own Internet?

[paknettech]

Google is working on its most ambitious project to date, the creation of a global data transfer network that could effectively serve as a private Internet. Since the introduction of AdWords three years ago, Google has become the world's largest media company and advertising vehicle. It has grown to rival Microsoft in scope and scale. The process has made it a fully globalized corporation. If you look carefully it might just start a new OS itself.

Google has an estimated $7billion in the bank and employs many of the brightest brains in IT There are a number of reasons backing speculation that Google is building its own global digital communications network. Google has formally entered the telecom business with the release of a VOIP client known as Google Talk. VOIP is an acronym for Voice Over IP, which is a synonym for Internet telephone. In order to provide this service Google has had to acquire technical and physical resources that, along with other assets held by the company, point to the construction of an alternative Internet.

Sounds big but considering Digg just dropped their google ads in favor of MS advertising it's not that black and white, Google own a big part of the net for one reason, they offer alot of free services. Gmail, Search Engine, YouTube and Ad Publishing doesn't cost a thing but are used more than other services.

Once you've got millions of users using your free services you've got the biggest ad service in the world. Free isn't always bad in business!
