With Google unveiling its Android plans and its bid for 700MHz spectrum is it just a matter of time when we’ll get free phone calls powered by ads? It may be so. If Google offered a SIP based soft-phone powered by ads and/or voice service powered by a one/two second ad, I would jump on it. Imagine Google ad powered voice calls from your PC or handheld and never having to worry about a phone bill.

The problem with current VoIP providers is, you have to pay for another subscription. I don’t want another subscription all I want is to be able to use my laptop or handheld to make voice calls over WiFi without having to invest in a PBX like phone system. Yes there is going to be much resistance as major players will be losing their revenue stream. But, then there will be new revenue streams and newer more nimble companies taking over as the dinosaurs die out.

Before you start commenting about free VoIP services out there, I don’t want a VoIP service with diminished quality or where I have to the authorization to the service provider to be able to use the numbers I call for SpIT.

By the way, if you are interested in only PC to PC voice calls, Google Take is ready to take you there.

If Google was to setup cellular infrastructure, imagine the amount of innovation that will happen. Right now the cellular companies really sell you the same clunky (proprietary) handheld and tie you in to a 2 or long year contract. What would the freedom of an open phone and service plan do?

Google powered cell phone anyone?
