Google Voice leaves global telecommunications giants screaming

Googles recent attempts at social media seems to have fizzed rather than Buzzed, and Google Wave remains underdeveloped. However, the new product 'Google Voice' looks to be an instant success that will shake-up the global telecommunications industry. 

In a strategic move to hold the mobile telecommunications industry in the palm of its hand, Google Voice allows mobile phone users to email, sms, voicemail, fax, scan and make phone calls to anywhere in the world for free (less the cost of data via internet). Yesterday, the product was released to the US and Canada with over 1 million people signing up in the first day. Say good-bye to that expensive monthly bill, and talk to friends without counting the minutes when Google Voice extends globally later this year. 

Google says "Voice will take human communication to another level". 

Existing telecommunications giants are sure to be worried about this one, while Apple has rejected Googles Voice application-meaning that for now, i-phone users are left without a Google Voice.
