Thoughts on Google

Every time I think that the price of Google (NYSE:GOOG) is about to peak another news story comes out indicating still brighter prospects. A recent story was the planned cooperation between Google and Verizon. Not as close as Goole would like, but it is a start.

One obstacle to wider Internet use on mobile phones is the pricing by mobile phone service providers. From what I see, in most parts of the world the user pays for each kB he downloads. What I would like to see is a low monthly flat rate for unlimited download. I guess we need more competition in this industry, real competition, before this will happen. Perhaps we need Google to become a mobile phone service provider. Google gave some hints at the Google Analyst Day on 24 October.
