The transformation of the Matrix (also known as Google) is at hand.

The Internets have been agog with ongoing rumors about the Google OS, meant to be deployed on the erstwhile gPhone.

Wild speculation abounds, but I think Google’s movements over the past couple of years are finally making sense.

First there was all the speculation as to what Google was planning to do with all that dark fiber they were buying up.

And then there’s the fact that Google has had its own hardware for a while.

I think they’ve done an end-run around the telcos and cel-phone companies. They now have their own network. All they have to do is hook up a bunch of cheap routers and servers and provide 802.11n or 802.11y, and you’ve got mobile VoIP.

I bet that the gPhone will have WiFi SIP as its major feature. Although I suppose they can’t really abandon traditional cell phone technology yet, as evidenced by their bid for some of that 700 MHz spectrum.

Interesting times, folks. Interesting times.
