Google enters the VoIP arena [www.google.com]
Where do they go from here?
I'd suggest they have two possible destinations (neither of which are necessarily exclusive).
On the other hand, moving into Video on demand would take advantage of their existing search and large-scale data storage skills.
More concretely they could be simply trying to cut costs and decreasing their reliance on internet infrastructure.
I'd suggest as a mid-term strategy towards video on demand they will be following some of the strategies already followed by Yahoo - i.e. offering subscription music downloads to use up some of that bandwidth. In the past Google have said that they are interested in testing video uploads and downloads. Why wouldn't they test the water with music downloads?
With messaging moving from text to voice, surely the next step for all voice messaging companies must be video messaging (and leaving/storing video messages)?
