I watch in awe at Google’s advancements and acquisitions. It amazes me just how many areas of business they are stretching into, fascinate to watch and wonder where they are headed. I really think the healthy competition that they are building in the Telecom industry will be good for all of us consumers, offering more choice and driving down prices. But, recently I read that Google has made application to become a wholesale power distributor, yeah electricity. What? (Giving my head a shake) Why? As much as I do truly love to watch the directions this company is headed in and the dragons that it continues to slay (News Media/Telecom), I wonder if there is a saturation point or a “spreading ourselves to thin point”. What are your thoughts on Google, will it ever end?
Article in today’s Globe and Mail on the Google Empire:
Interesting. Google has a long history of downplaying forays into new areas, only to later surprise competitors with new products and services. This could be another huge opportunity for Google.
