I think the government...That's a good question. I think the government already understands the threat that Google poses to the public's privacy, but the act of mandating it to break up the enterprise probably won't occur until it starts to takeover the OS market in sweeping numbers. If Google is able to usurp Microsoft as the OS king with Chrome OS, which is quite likely the way the IT industry is headed, it would stifle competition for many companies and foolish for the government not to do anything. <br /><br />We're already starting to see the intimations of substantial competitive mitigation with Google's barrage of new services. Its hard to compete with a company that offers most of its services for free. Imagine how GPS, cable networks, telecom, and publishers must feel right now. And unlike Microsoft, Google's software only continues to get better with every new version. <br /><br />Maybe I should've renamed my blogpost to "Google: The Walmart of IT".MaSirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112263977105108306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232920049546930538.post-56221009346302024382009-11-18T07:05:54.233-08:002009-11-18T07:05:54.233-08:00So do you think the government is going to let Goo...So do you think the government is going to let Google get as big as you say it is, or do you think eventually the government will force Google to spin off its different businesses?Jeremynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232920049546930538.post-49952115744192936952009-11-17T15:04:01.306-08:002009-11-17T15:04:01.306-08:00I always though Google had waaaay too many project...I always though Google had waaaay too many projects floating around. Most of them never really panned out. They would release something cool, but never did anything with them. Remember Google News? But now a few are turning out to be monsters. <br /><br />My main concern is becoming heavily dependent on one company to store and maintain all of your digital data. Photos, contacts, documents, music, video, etc. That is why I think the main gripe against Google today is privacy.Junichihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182565564084132267noreply@blogger.com
