Google targeting low end of telecom market

Google's GoogleVoice service, a web-based phone number and voicemail service, is gaining some ground among consumers. Apparently, Google had revealed in an SEC document that it has 1.4 million users; the company later redacted that figure. The service isn't exactly practical for business users because of an overall lack of security and quality of service, but serves a broader purpose of pushing VoIP further out into the mainstream.

Reports indicate that GoogleVoice is used regularly by about 50 percent of its 1.4 million users. The service, originally called GrandCentral before it was acquired by Google, has grown considerably from the small footprint enjoyed by the earlier owner.
