The appearance of search engine Google has triggered an Internet revolution. Now it seems to be considering the development of this revolutionary flame to the telecommunications industry - try to connect the world with a free call service. According to the British "Times" on the 24th, the online search of the giant crocodile Google is preparing to enter the telecommunications industry, through the broadband Internet, connect the computer and phone.
Due to the lack of professional operations of large telecommunications companies, the audience has not yet become a climate. However, this situation may change due to Google. I don't know what the telecom giants are thinking.
Once Google shots, use new technologies and broadband Internet, provide people with free telephone services, which will present a situation in which consumers have suffered the telecommunications business.
Google's telephone service will combine its search service. For example, customers need to find a clothing retailer, if you find relevant phone information with Google, just click on the screen, you can talk to the store.
Telecom analyst Julian. Hewitter believes that from the long run from telecommunications, Google's search engine function is very good. To know, Google's search engine has occupied half-Wanjiang Mountain in the global Internet, so the industry champion in Google is more concerned.
For Google, the cost of Internet calls is almost zero. Real costs are software development because the connection of the Internet and traditional telephone networks is a key issue that currently needs to be resolved. In addition, the sound quality of the Internet call is not guaranteed, and it is also a problem.
Soon, a recruitment advertisement published on the Google website, said: "Google is looking for strategic negotiating experts with extensive experience, can identify, choose, and negotiate with the city with long-distance 'dark' fiber network contract, this city The network is an important composition of the development of a global backbone network. "This allows the industry to smell a smell.
"Dark" fiber refers to optical cables that have been laid, but not enabled. Currently, there are thousands of kilometers of "dark" fibers in the United States, but because of the high operating costs, no one is concerned. Although Google spokesperson refused to comment this, it could not prevent the production of various conjectures.
Google did not disclose their detailed plans, and the company's spokesperson did not have a clear answer to the recruitment advertisement. Their initiative triggered people concerns about Google's development prospects.
If Google is to establish a national or regional fiber-optic network, the company will invest hundreds of millions of dollars, which will be completed in a few years. For most companies with network needs, investment will be a difficult move, they usually choose to rent optical fibers from the telecom operations. So, if Google enters the telecom market in this way, it is undoubtedly a big risk bet.
The user of the Internet phone is now developing rapidly. A Skype point-to-point call software based on London companies has been downloaded 54 million times in the world, and 10% of Japan have been on the Internet, and the Internet services provided by SoftBand have 4.4 million users in Japan. British Telecom (BT) connected to the UK 70% of the United Kingdom has also begun to develop its own online telephone business. However, due to the development of these services will bring huge losses to other business operations of the company, the telecommunications business is still hesitant to develop online phone calls.
Grab this market is not involuged for Google, it is likely to set off a telecommunications revolution.
