does google offer hosting though? this company in the report is offering hosting, dont google data centers just service the google grid?
They don't allow companies to bring in their own servers and then run them from a google data center. But they have just started allowing companies to build their own apps on google servers using a development kit. This is coming out of their labs just now and won't be full blown for months yet.

See this:
»code.google.com/appengine/docs/w···ine.html

This is not the std Google Apps(spreadsheet, word processor, calendar, mail) that most people are familiar with. The APP Engine is a development platform for companies to build their own apps on google servers.

It is a private company and does not trade on any stock exchange:

Some say that low prices aren’t enough for Las Vegas to be able to compete with major data centers such as those by Google and Microsoft but others are keeping a close eye on what’s to happen with Switch.
They have a long way to go to match up with Microsoft and Google:
»Huge # of Servers at the core of the internet
Google is said to operate a global network of about three dozen data centres with, according to some estimates, more than 1m servers. To catch up, Microsoft is investing billions of dollars and adding up to 20,000 servers a month.
