Weekend reports indicate search engine Google may be preparing a free voice-over IP service.
A job opening on Google's help wanted area for a strategic coordinator hinted at Google's potential telecommunications launch. According to the posting, Google is looking for:
Negotiations for collocation space in conventional data centers; for racks, power circuits, cross connects, and remote hands services in conventional data centers; and for wholesale transactions with conventional data centers in North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
Negotiation and purchasing of IP transit services in North America, Europe, Asia, and/or Latin America; negotiation of partnerships with Internet exchanges, regional peering providers, and paid peering arrangements with major carriers.
As reported by The Register "VoIP providers use software to route voice calls over the internet network at a lower cost than a call using the traditional phone network."
There has been no announcement confirming or denying any upcoming services from the search engine.
