And next month Google-plex will be announced from the purchasing Qwest
and Sprint. GoogleISP is an alternative ISP system that offers phone,
TV shows, and network to your home. It will also have a satellite
phone, link, radio and TV in 2008 for world-wide coverage.

Google ISP will not offer deep discounts but will be a what you see is
what you get method. Telephone will be subsidized with 10 second ads
at the beginning of a call, but you can choose which ads meet your
needs or you would prefer to hear.  TV shows will use a model of ads
at the beginning, middle and end of a show for your the consumers
pleasure. If you do not want ads, you will be charged an appropriate
higher rate to make up the missed costs.
