Google To Announce Mobile Plans In Two Weeks?

November 1, 2007

What’s this?  Google is planning to enter the mobile space?  Seriously, if that is news to you, I don’t know where you’ve been hiding for the last couple of years.  What IS new is that the Wall Street Journal is reporting that in just 2 short weeks the Mountain View search giant will be officially announcing several different plans to enter into the already crowded mobile arena.

This should prove to be interesting.  Especially since US carriers tend to be a little controlling with what goes on their networks and even more so about what ships on the phones.  Google-centric devices will undoubtedly be information-driven and somehow be linked to their advertising empire, and with the mobile ad space heating up, carriers will surely frown on losing any revenue that their current in-place models are generating.  Of course, Google does have some pretty deep pockets and a deal could surely be struck that shares additional ad revenues.

‘Til then, we’ll just have to sit tight for two more weeks.
