Re: Is google that great?

Google wants to make any sort of communication channel free to the consumer; as long as they have advertising rights to it.

Can you imagine getting commercials during a phone call?
No need to imagine. You do now when you call many companies and get put on hold (or wait to get connected to a "[dis]service rep" - ie: Before we will talk to you, you must listen to 10 minutes of commercials about our company first).
i think that is part advertising and part not wanting to be anally raped by ASCAP(i think that is the initals) for licensing fees to play real music.

course they could sidestep that by just having the call center use a local radio station as the hold music.
