There are a number of very interesting things going on in GoogleSpace.
Google has a gigantic block of IPv6 address space - 79 billion billion billion addresses. To qualify for these addresses, ARIN rules require, among other things, that Google provides addresses to at least 200 organizations within five years, so it appears they will become an ISP.
Google has been buying large amounts of dark fiber, which further feeds the ISP theory.
Google is building a huge new datacenter with twin four-story tall cooling towers.
What's on their mind? Competing with E-Bay? Grid computing? Software as a Service? Sentience? Or are they getting set to bypass the tollbooths those annoying little telcos are planning to erect?
