What the Google Voice Team Will Do with Gizmo5How will Google use Gizmo5? VOIP watcher Andy Abramson outlines a scenario where Google would serve phone-based ads to Google Voice subscribers. Google would offer users to pay $40 a month for conference call, or $10 per month with conference calls supported by commercials. October 31, 2009

Google Voice Has 1.4 Million UsersThe Google Voice phone management application already has 1.42 million users, 570,000 of which use it daily, according to a letter Google sent to the Federal Communications Commission this week. Business Week unearthed the data point Oct. 30 in something of an embarrassing gaffe by Google on par with the Janet Jackson Wardrobe Malfunction. October 27, 2009

Google Voice Lets Users Sacrifice Features to Use Their Mobile NumbersFor users who don't want a Google number to use Google Voice, Google is offering a tradeoff. Today, Google released a version of Google Voice that lets users make their mobile phone number the contact point for Google Voice. The catch is that users who opt to use this "lighter version of Google Voice" won't be able to receive online voicemail, automated text transcripts, and custom voicemail greetings, a Google spokesperson told eWEEK.

Google Voice Debate Turning into Telco Tennis MatchGoogle and pundits accuse AT&T of unfairly using the network neutrality angle in its argument when it's actually about broken telco laws. This may be so, but the motive doesn't matter to me. The FCC rules that govern telco practices and data are severely wanting in balance, common sense and, most egregiously, simplicity. Chairman Julius Genachowski can't rewrite the rules fast enough, in my opinion. October 8, 2009

Lawmakers Join AT&T in Google Voice-Network Neutrality GripeIn a letter to the FCC, Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives said they find Google's position with Google Voice "ill conceived and unfair to our rural constituents." AT&T started something with Google Voice. It will be interesting to watch if and how it snowballs. September 28, 2009

AT&T is Right: Google Shouldn't Get a Pass for Google VoiceWhen Google points at phone carriers like Verizon and AT&T and complains they are blocking access to applications, content and services, we tend to listen. Look, it's a bird, it's a plane... No, it's Google, swooping in as defenders of the Internet faithful. We shouldn't let Google get away with practices we spend so much time correcting carriers. It's not the method that matters, it's the practice. No one should be allowed to block calls, or everyone should. September 18, 2009

Why Didn't Google Throw Apple Under the Bus from the Start?Why try to protect Apple by asking the FCC to keep confidential how Apple rejected the Google Voice application for its iPhone App Store, only to turn around a month later and patently throw Apple under the bus? Perhaps Google leveraged Apple's reputation as a corporate stalwart of spin and deception against Apple, aiming for maximum PR damage. September 9, 2009

Google Now Lets You Check Google Voice Messages from GmailGoogle has added an option in Gmail Labs that lets Google Voice users access their messages directly from Gmail instead of in a separate browser tab. Eventually, one envisions Google Voice as part of Google Wave, fusing voice communication with real-time collaboration. Now that could be exciting (if not a little confusing).
