Imagining the Google Future

Most people now know that the company Sergey Brin and Larry Page founded a mere eight years ago is one of the new century’s most cunning enterprises. If there were any lingering doubts, 2005 erased them. Google’s sales jumped an estimated 50 percent to $6 billion, its profits tripled to a projected $1.6 billion, and Wall Street answered with an unprecedented vote of confidence: a $120 billion market cap, a share price soaring above $400, and a price/earnings ratio close to 70.

Google signed up about eight new hires per day in 2005- a lot of them from Microsoft, many among the smartest people on the planet at what they do. Google is on track to spend more than $500 million on research and development in 2006, and last year it launched more free products in beta than in any previous year. Name any long-term technology bet you can think of– genome-tailored drugs, artificial intelligence, the space elevator–and chances are, there’s a team in the Googleplex working on an application.

The question which raises the most widely debated question in business is now: What kind of company will Google become in the coming decades? Chris Taylor put this same question to scientists, consultants, former Google employees, and tech visionaries like Ray Kurzweil and Stephen Wolfram. They responded with well-argued, richly detailed, and sometimes scary visions of a Google future. Visit Chris Taylor for four very different scenarios for the company.

ECOWAS moves to ensure better GSM services

Published by User ImageEmmanuel under Afrika!, Technologies

BEFORE the end of this year, the desire by citizens of West African countries to communicate by means of the Global System of Mobile Telecommunications may be realised. The dream is to be actualised through a synchronised network that can quicken access to the countries.

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) announced in Abuja that two sub-groups had been set up by its technical branch on GSM Roaming to address the core issues of interconnectivity of regional networks and tariff harmonisation that will facilitate the introduction of a region-wide roaming facility in West Africa by December 2006.

Observers have often deplored the prevailing situation in the sub-region whereby it is easier to put a call by GSM to countries in Europe or America than access a line in a country in West Africa, despite the proximity.

According to the ECOWAS Secretariat, the first group would make proposals for strengthening trans-border interconnectivity to ensure the free flow of intra-community calls through improvements in telecommunications infrastructure. The second is expected to review the proposals already adopted by GSM operators on tariff harmonisation and billing.

Interestingly, leaders of the African Union (AU), at their recently concluded meeting, also adopted the report on the implementation of the project for the creation of a unified telecommunications numbering space for Africa.

ECOWAS Secretariat said yesterday in Abuja that the two groups have already approved actions plans indicating critical activities to be undertaken towards the realisation of the project, which was originally approved during the January 12th, 2006 29th Ordinary Summit of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government in Niamey.

Meanwhile, the technical group has also proposed some measures for implementation under a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) involving member states, telecommunications regulators in the sub-region and GSM operators that will enhance the creation of an environment conducive for the realisation of the project.

Motorola adds Google to mobiles

googleMotorola has announced plans to enable users of its mobile phones to access Google’s internet search engine at the touch of a single handset button. The US mobile phone maker said it would introduce Google’s software technology to many of its new handsets. The companies said they wanted to encourage more mobile users to access the internet using their phones.

Separately, Google also announced an internet video service deal with US chip giant Intel. The company said it planned to allow users of Intel’s new Viiv digital entertainment platform to use its search technology to locate and watch videos on the internet.

The agreement between Google and Intel was unveiled on Thursday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where Google co-founder Larry Page is due to make a keynote address later on Friday. Mobile operators have struggled to boost revenue from services which allow phone users to surf the web.

But Google chief executive Eric Schmidt said he believed most people would in the future access the internet using their mobile phones.

People are going to spend all their time on it eventually,” he said.

Motorola said it planned to launch special Google-enabled phones, which would give users access to the world’s biggest internet search engine at the touch of a single button, later this year. Eventually the company plans to embed Google technology in all of its future phones.

Reltel offers profit package to call center operators

Reltelwireless has rolled out a package of incentives for call center operators on the network to enable them increase their daily profit margins. The gesture comes at a time when many of the call center operators are closing shop due to an unprofitable tariff regime put in place by some telephone networks in the country.

Kierian Enechi, chief marketing office, Reltelwireless, announced the package in Lagos at a ceremony to unveil a range of value-added services introduce by the company for subscribers on the network. Enechi said that call center operators can now make a profit of about N3,000 per week, using a minimum of three Reltel N500 special discount cards, called Bonuscard Plus, while operators who invested up to N7,000 on the cards could make up to N70,000 per month.

He noted that the incentives were fallouts of the company’s re-branding programme, following the technical support provided to Reltel by the Chinese Telecommunications giant, Huawei, which is now powering the network to sustain its position in the market. According to him, the new partnership with Huawei has yielded new products and services, these include, the Reltel digital wireless fax terminal which has effectively made the company the first fixed wireless operator to deploy fax services in Nigeria. He said the fax facility goes for N30,000.

Enechi re-affirmed that Reltel had started providing short message services (sms) to other networks within and outside Nigeria including mobile networks. Others value added services, he noted, include call waiting, forwarding, locking and conferencing which had been perfected on the network.

He said that the company has slashed calls to GSM lines in order to give every telephone user an opportunity to talk, and that Reltelwireless had also maintained its round-the-clock free intra-network calls policy. The Reltelwireless CMO added that the company had also introduced Internet recharge card in its determination to encourage more people in the country to use and explore opportunities on the Internet without difficulty. It would be recalled that Reltel invested about N3 billion recently in its network expansion deal with Huawei to position itself as the first among equals in the fixed wireless business in the country.

The company has since commenced services in Port Harcourt, Nnewi and Onitsha in addition to Lagos, Nigeria’s business hub.
Reltel has also launched an ambitious expansion programme that would soon take its services to more Nigerian cities, including Abuja, Ibadan, Enugu, Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna and Benin.
