Google has decided to push the ISP industry into the future. This seems to be similiar to the way the Nexus One has resulted in improved hardware in the cellular industry. If you are interested in a possible (see slim) chance of getting your Interwebz at over 1 gigabit per second. Sign up here:
DJ Brady has been in the industry for over 15 years. Due to being rather OCD about research into every nook and cranny of the latest tech, DJ is full of bizarre knowledge that may or may not be relevant to, well, anything. He has attended CES, E3 and GDC (upcoming) trade shows for years. Once upon a time he managed a local overseas importing video game shop, eventually a Gamestop, and at another time wrote for an insider trade magazine called "The VideoGame Advisor".
You can contact him at Djbrady@mobilelocalsocial.com and on Twitter @ZenInsight (he comments here under this name too)

Now here is a place that Google can do something more up their alley. They already have massive purchasing power in place to make a lot of great things happen, and they are sure to have a lot of support for something like this.
Google is fantastic. Hopefully they will keep to things they can but instead of things they have far less control over, such as social media. Google Wave has still not impressed me enough to wave it in anybody's face. I do not foresee a huge adoption for Google Buzz, either. It is just not what they do best. Each of these I mention are too cumbersome for many users, and are likely to only pick up a small niche market. Gig-sized pipes running down my street, now there is something to buzz about.
If you want a mobile, local search or social media campaign that actually works to increase local search, search engine rankings and your branding. Check out our kansas city marketing services.
