Google Speak Creates Universally Existing Voip Advantage

Google Speak Creates Universally Existing VOiP Service With the past record of Google's ability to enter into and rapidly dominate totally new fields, an invasion by Google into new territory is definitely something worth taking badly. Voice over Internet Protocol technology is no different, and right now Google appears to be making a play for a bigger portion of the VoIP market. There are numerous ways in which Google could come become a better player in the VoIP market. One of them is through its messenger advantage. Right now Google Talk is an instant messenger service that is competent of voice transmission, as well as its standard text transmission. It's still limited to contacting other people using Google Talk and several other Instant Messenger services like GAIM, Trillian, iChat, Psi, and Adium. That said though, Google supposedly has plans to make changes to Google Talk that would make it compatible with more traditional telephone systems. If that happens, it would obviously be much easier to get access to what would resemble a fully functional VoIP service basically by downloading a free program from Google. This would, of course, have a major impact on established phone service providers. Right now, one of the major impediments that VoIP technology has to becoming a major threat to conventional telecommunications companies is the fact that the VoIP services are either darken and not as user open, or require the purchase of an actual monthly subscription. With Google Talk, neither of those factors would be an impediment. Google is well enough known to attract interest, the version of Google Talk that would interface with standard telecommunication systems would probably be relatively easy to use, and it would in all likelihood be free to download and not be subject to a monthly fee. This could make it a major threat to the conventional telecommunications system and the industry that relies on it being the means of choice for providing people with voice communication. One thing that would get in the way of Google Talk becoming serious competition to commercial VoIP services would come from the fact that because of its nature the upcoming version of Google Talk would probably not have the kind if comprehensive features that you'd get with the big name VoIP services like Vonage, Skype, and Sun Rocket. Most of the larger VoIP providers include lots of extra features at no extra charge that make phone extremely convenient, and those bonus features would be difficult to implement in the form of a small free ware program from Google. Since the larger VoIP providers typically have things like voice mail, call waiting, call forwarding, conference business, call blocking, caller ID, and call waiting to name only a few; Google Talk really wouldn't be much of a threat to them. Some of the bigger VoIP services also even offer on the fly speech translation which makes it easier to communicate with people in other parts of the world. For these reasons it's really suspect that Google Talk would be a threat to other VoIP service providers. But Google also has a lot of unused bandwidth at its disposal and some of the most innovative minds in Silicon Valley. Therefore, if Google decided to launch a full blown VoIP service, the free services would then be seriously threatened.
