Sarcasm What innovation! /Sarcasm Not only is it a commodity feature on many systems like Asterisk but it's already been commercialized for years. (IE Bell's Prime Line). 50M isn't too much money, maybe they've got infrastructure in place and a staff to manage it. Just having that out of the way would get you to market a year quicker.

RE: [on-asterisk] surprising google purchase
Wasn't there someone in Ottawa who had a similar business? They would assign one phone number to you and it would be forwarded to various phones. I seem to recall thinking that it was quite cool so maybe Google is hoping for the same. (note that this service only applies to USA ) Though you would still need a provider whether it's a cell service, land line etc. to forward this number and voice mail to. Maybe they'll tie it in with their gmail for a total communication tool. ??

Are you thinking of Iotum's presence management suite? I think they were tightly integrating things with Exchange, but have now re-focused on the Blackberry market.

Now that's an idea - Integration with Gmail. They've got Google Talk and Gmail integrated, now they can tie the voicemail box of GTalk with the Grand Central vm box, and give you a visual voicemail interface via Gmail.
