Google is buying up broadcast frequencies, mobile Internet-capable data centers, cell phone tech and pressed the government for rights to provide "Free wifi for everyone". I think they're gearing up to make mobile VOIP phones using wifi technology.

Granted to Google inventors William Whitted and Gerald Aigner, the patent also covers a method for deployment that includes building one module within a ready-to-ship container, shipment via a transport infrastructure, several computing systems mounting within the container and transporting the container to a new site via the infrastructure. Finally, it states that deployment will involve connecting at least one resource connection -- like electricity, natural gas, water and Internet access -- to at least one module.

If this sounds familiar, it might just be. Google's patent description resembles <A href="http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=193303264">Sun Microsystems'</A> data center in a box, called <A href="http://www.informationweek.com/galleries/showImage.jhtml?galleryID=7&articleID=197800265">Project Blackbox</A>. During its debut last year, Sun installed a Blackbox -- essentially a cargo container for 18-wheelers -- outside of Grand Central Station in New York City to show how easily one of their data centers could be installed.
