John,It's to bad you can't appreciate the borg-like hazards being created by google. The have much larger plans than microsoft ever dreamed if and shareholders to trump the original "do no evil" charter.

I do not understand all the negative sentiments on Google. They are doing what every great American Company has done in the past. Use new ways to further their business. That's all there is to it. They have a hurdle called bandwidth. They are being stopped by large companies that have a strangle hold via legislation and existing infrastructure capital costs. They need to get the cost of getting online as low as possible so users can surf until their eyes are red. They recognize there is a huge potential in underserved markets that cannot acquire or afford bandwidth. They are finding the right amount of competition in the market to create the hurdle companies to respond and so far it is working. I might add that they are working on a low orbit satellite solution to bring what I call World WIFI. This is to cover the rural market as well as covering the oceans. Their bigger plans require higher bandwidth and communication is the key. They are tired of waiting for the bandwidth gatekeepers. This is their response. Nothing more, Nothing less.
