"GOOGLE VOICE ILLUMINATES BATTLE FOR DOMINANCE," Revised, Stuart M. Whitaker, September, 2009
Google Voice made headlines recently when
Apple decided not to allow Google Voice in Apple's iStore,
Google CEO Eric Schmidt resigned from Apple's board, and the US government disclosed investigations into the relationship between Google, Apple, and
AT&T, the only US carrier allowed to sell the iPhone.
We’ve just revised the original report to include replies to the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from Apple, AT&T, and Google--including Google's unredacted "confidential, not for public inspection" reply explaining why Google Voice was rejected and the communications between Google and Apple on the application.
This report will be of interest to everyone who wants to learn more about competitive issures involving the Apple iPhone, iPhone applications, Google Voice, and AT&T. This concise report offers a quick but critical insight into the issues raised by the Google Voice application. This report makes clear that Google's competitors extend beyond search engines and directory publishers. This report makes clear that competitors must do more than simply offer "me too" advertising solutions to compete successfully against Google and Google Voice. This report also explains the following:
- what Google Voice is;
- how Google Voice stacks up against
Skype and AT&T Wireless;
- the strategic advantage Google gains through Google Voice;
- how the iPhone serves as a platform.
