Re: Google Impact

said by pnh102 See Profile :

The business model of this phone must be radically different from existing offerings. For example, if the service was covered by the cost of ads, and not by subscribers, then Google will be able to make an impression here. The same ad-supported model could also work for data connectivity.
Google won't be offering either a phone or wireless access. It will be offering software to run on various manufacturers phones. And they aren't in the business of offering wireless access either - at least not yet. IF they bid on spectrum, it won't be until Jan 2008 at the earliest.

So I don't see how they are going to change any business models here. The wireless providers are still going to want their money and the handset manufacturers will also. The only thing that MAY become free might be some data access to the internet if Google underwrites it with ads.

Quick clarification - Google already offers software for phones. What this news article more likely means is that Google will offer an OS for phones.
