Google Router Rumors

Posted by timothy on from the google-cars-too-pass-it-on dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There's a new rumor that Google is developing its own router. The company won't comment on the story, but it's been in the hardware business for a while and expanded its presence with Android. If Larry Ellison can go halvsies with HP on a server, then Eric Schmidt should certainly be able to make Cisco nervous."

    Well, besides the obvious "buy the box" revenue, how else can Google make money on it? [tinfoil] Always consider every router as a man-in-the-middle. Suddenly, every http: you visit will "help target your ads." One National Security Letter later, and every mailto: and http: and irc: and torrent: that you visit will "enable investigations into conspiracy models."[/tinfoil]
