Many telecom industry observers believe Google will have a hard time making
the transition from search engine giant to network operator. Could the
transition to equipment maker be any easier? Nyquist Capital analyst Andrew
Schmitt thinks Google is doing just that, using offtheshelf chips to build 10
Gbps Ethernet switches because commercial options available allegedly didnt fit
its needs.
If thats true, it could shake up the market for 10 Gig E gear, or at least give
equipment makers in that market a good scare. It could also give everyone
questioning Googles telecom moxie further food for thought. Maybe Google is
ready to take the telecom leap.
