Google and Time Warner Telecom - VoIP Partners?

Posted by Zonk on from the phone-buddies dept.

An anonymous reader wrote to mention a ZDNet blog entry by Garett Rogers, wondering aloud about the relationship between Google and Time Warner Telecom. From the entry: "It is rumored that Google has started testing 'Click-to-Call' which links potential buyers to advertisers via phone, but the third party who provides the communication services is still unknown. Could it be Time Warner Telecom who will be providing VoIP services for Google's Click-to-Call service?" We've previously mentioned the Click-to-Call service.

    Just what we need... targeted advertisements during our phone calls. Like this one I just found on a google search:

    Bank Robbery
    Products and information about
    Bank Robbery.
    eBay.com

      Seriously, though, at what point do these eBay ads fall foul of false advertising laws?
