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. ?? ________________________________ From: Dave Donovan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 4, 2007 9:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] surprising google purchase <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.
