Continuing my series of Watchmen-esque articles on the business dealings of Google, who show me genius on a regular basis, I shall now point out the next step Google is taking toward becoming your Internet. And isn’t this savvy: Google now wants to provide E-Mail (through GMail), and its precursory Online Desktop Services to the world of Internet Service Providers — and inherently all of you. Nice move, eh? Wait until they offer direct peering with GoogleNet, and an ability to access their content cache… Oh well.

So far, totaling the bill of areas of the Internet where Google is ultimately dominant:

1. Search: Web Text, News, & Images, (coming soon: Video & Audio)
2. Advertising
3. Content Storage

Remaining areas to be assumed in the near future:

1. Internet Service Providing (hardlined; software)
2. Internet Service Providing (wireless; hardware/software)
3. Construction of Internet TV infrastructure
