Google Turning Broadband Internet Provider to Fuel Cloud Ambitions? In 2006 Google said it had no plans to be an internet service provider. In the same year an Internet news portal had also reported, “Several sources have reported over the last year that Google has been quietly acquiring inactive or ‘unlit’ optical cable — otherwise known as dark fiber — a key ingredient used to build data networks.” Snapping back to February 2010, Google announces they are putting to use miles of dark fiber -- the underground cable left unused since the Internet bubble -- in an experimental project to build an ultra-fast fiber-optic broadband network.

Information Security Solutions for India in the New Decade 2009 has been titled as the most productive year for Trojan/malware writers. There were about 25 million new malware strains in 2009 compared to a combined total of 15 million in security company Panda's 20-year history. The previous year saw Trojans such as Zeus, UrlZone and Clampi performing their operations with a high level of anonymity leaving affected users completely unaware of their presence.

The multiple models for monetization are fundamentally shifting the software industry and business models. Traditionally software companies have made monies only in Licensing and now there are three additional models to monetize. In this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, Srikanth Karnakota says software licensing is going to continue to exist and grow. Online advertising will grow. Online transactions and subscriptions will grow. But perhaps most importantly for a number of our partners, the amount of value that will be delivered by humans providing customization services, application development services, management services, hosting services, will also continue to grow, and so we see a big opportunity for our partners as we make this transformation to Windows and Windows Live and the new software plus service user interface and computing model.
