WSJ.com - Google's Wireless Plan Underscores Threat to Telecom: "Internet companies are making an aggressive and unprecedented push into services traditionally offered by phone and cable companies -- threatening to upend the business of transmitting voice and data.
Google Inc. unveiled the latest such effort Friday with a proposal to provide free, wireless high-speed Internet access in the city of San Francisco. The service would allow users to bypass fee-based connections of cable and local phone companies in favor of wireless links.
Users could log on through computers and email, surf the Web, download music or do anything else they can do with a traditional Internet connection -- including, potentially, make phone calls with voice-over IP, or VOIP, technology."
