An article this week claims that Google controls more network fibre than anyone else on the Internet, as they look to control as much Internet traffic as possible.Interesting prediction in this article, not sure I'm quite so sceptical though:
"Google will become our phone company, our cable company, our stereo system and our digital video recorder. Soon we won't be able to live without Google, which will have marginalized the ISPs and assumed most of the market capitalization of all the service providers it has undermined -- about $1 trillion in all -- which places today's $500 Google share price about eight times too low."
Speaking of networks, if you're looking for a really interesting read, catchup behind the scenes on MIT's network in an article at Network World.MIT is planning to switch all 15,000 phones on campus to VoIP in the near future, but also some other information on networks projects and the situation with wireless on campus.
They seem to be taking a practial approach to wireless security and standards too, which is something that a number of large companies should really be learning from:
"Enforce is not a word you can use at MIT. We try to entice people to do the right thing," quotes Network Manager & Security Architect Jeff Schiller.
