well the 2 owners of Google each have $14.5 billion dollars in the bank.

Im glad I bought the stock when it was at 220.00 a share back in 05. I dont know if anyone else is into the stock market but its been paying me quite nicely. I'm a part owner too, in a sense but dont have quite 14.5 bill

ok, so it's more than that

Sergey Mikhailovich Brin (Russian: Сергей Михайлович Брин; born August 21, 1973) is a Russian-born American entrepreneur who co-founded Google with Larry Page.Brin currently holds the position of President of Technology at Google and has a net worth estimated at $18.5 billion as of March 9, 2007, making him the 26th richest person in the world and the 5th richest person in the United States, together with Larry Page.[4] He is also the fourth-youngest billionaire in the world.

Schmidt is one of the few people who have become billionaires (USD) based on stock options received as an employee in a corporation of which neither he nor a relative was the founder. "Earlier this year, he pulled in almost $90 million from sales of Google stock and made at least another $50 million selling shares in the past two months as the stock leaped to more than $300 a share."[8] In its 2006 'World's Richest People' list, Forbes ranked Schmidt as the 129th richest person in the world (the ranking was shared by Onsi Sawiris, Alexei Kuzmichov, and Robert Rowling) with an estimated wealth of $6.2 billion.

Larry Page ran Google as co-president with Brin until 2001 when they hired Eric Schmidt to become Chairman and CEO of Google.According to the 2006 edition of Forbes, Page had an estimated net worth of $18.5 Billion, making him the 26th richest person in the world, one place behind Brin.[8] Page and Brin recently purchased a pre-owned Qantas Boeing 767 airliner for their business and personal needs.

I don't see anything in that release that's particularly new; the FCC has always been in bed with whoever had the best lobby.

The only thing that is really new i suppose, is that google is entering the segment. Their claim to fame seems to be integration and ease of use.... oh and free.

Although i'm sure there will be a cost associated with the service.

Fortune Magazine covered this...

It will be ad based.

I bet a dollar to a nickel, they will track who you call (business wise) for ad placement.

Meh. Google, Wal-Mart, and McDonalds will merge together into McGoogle-Mart and rule the world.

I enjoy a lot of shit google has purchased and they seem to spend crazy cash on just shit that the only money they are making it with is AD's? It is usually a bad thing when one company controls too many things.
Is there a way to tell how much googles or say M$ earning are to compare the sizes of the company?

yes, it's called an annual report... every publically traded company has them
