http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/transcripts_082605_google.html Very interesting read. If this does infact come into play, I am sure they will will stand - having dominated its competition.

They are building a GoogleNet which is basically connecting the Google infrastructure worldwide. Think of it as a parallel Internet which Google owns.
interesting read..

Interesting, got anymore links talking about this? Cause it is kind of hard to believe one person.

I saw an article about that at slashdot I believe... interesting indeed... I do wonder, will they be charging people to connect to the GoogleNet?

I would probably pay a few bucks a month for access to the googlenet...;)

[TruthElixirX]

Will this be like a google service provider? Or a whole other internet?

I believe the article says it would be free (ideally).

Nothing is free. I am sure you will have ads throw everywhere if they were to provide this "free"

[Mental Stamina]

gotta love people who think outside the box

[Onimua]

What box? :p

[MGM]

What box? :p
There is no box. o.O

I do wonder, if they have their own internet.. would that mean we would only be able to access Google-sites on it? Or would we be able to access all sites on it except it'd be somewhat different...

I wonder if they'd put AdSense at the top of each page relating to the site we're visiting... no wait, thats GoogleBrowser :p

Interesting... As my friend always says, "Google is taking over the world!"

[Techguy1]

Very interesting read indeed... GoogleWeb coming soon to a router near you.

[Shining Arcanine]

What box? :p

The box that confines what search engine companies do. :p

It wouldn't work as a seperate internet, google just want to be their own ISP not their own internet.

Just search on google.com!

How could two seperate Internets exist? If anything, GoogleNet will be an ISP, like MSN or AOL. I don't know how popular that would prove, though, since most people associate Google with freebies. (I know I do...) ;)

[Onimua]

They have internet 2.0 :p

Two internets can exist... they just have to be done differently in some ways, ala Google's buying of fiber-optics wiring...

Also, if it was an ISP, it could be a free ISP (such as Net Zero) where you would get various GoogleAds based on what site you're visiting..... this would probably also mean they'd have to develop a GoogleBrowser...

I didn't know NetZero was free... I thought it was about $9/month... Anyways, a second Internet wouldn't be very popular, at least in my opinion. I think Google is much more likely to simply release an ISP service, as that would probably be better accepted by the masses.

Well, it used to be free... and I thought they still had a free version that had ads and not many features when the paid version came out?

I believe NetZero has a free version, but it's limited to 10hours a month.

[ManagerJosh]

Gees, that's a big downgrade from their "unlimited" free plan they use to have.

I doubt they are building their 'own internet', that's why I linked to the page above which I notice no one who replied bother to read :p.

They are more than likely buying dark fiber to connect things needed to run their services. Be is servers or important customer data or allowing two people to work together from separate offices without dealing with the normal congestion you get when working over the internet. Last but not least owning your own internal network allows you to transfer sensitive data without worrying about someone sniffing it while the packets bounce from server to server over the public internet.

Unless somone cuts the cable and quickly rewires an end of it:p
