Google's Mobile Plans

By Glenn Fleishman

At Mobile Pipeline today, I write about Google’s broad mobile plans into which Wi-Fi fits as a piece: Google’s Wi-Fi bid for San Francisco has been billed as a one-off, and after speaking to their business-development guy responsible for it, I’m convinced it is. What he said quite openly—and that he said many reporters haven’t been very interested in—is that Google would use SF as a place to assemble a platform of services for municipal networks that would have revenue on the back end. This set of services could be offered to companies like EarthLink—with which they have lines of communications—a way to generate revenue immediately beyond subscriber revenue.

In the article, I also cover Google’s phone strategy, which, while not unique and not as broad a portfolio as Yahoo and not as deep as some independent firms, is part and parcel of their overall approach.
