Yes, Google's hands are full. Then why did Google set up millions servers by itself rather than leasing the server farms, renting the real estates, or even outsourcing the whole things to Akamai? Then, no one seemed to think it was/is a stupid or crazy idea to buy thousands miles of dark fiber rather than purchasing an exisiting nation-wide optical fiber backbone plus hundred thousand enterprises customers for only $250 million at 1/4 of today's price. It all depends on economics and how smart you are. That could be one of the limiting factors for Google's future growth. My hat off to Google's motto: "Don't do evil". However, Google missed or is missing the opportunity to compete with PayPal by establishing Google's unversal online payment system. So far, after their search engine - maybe their MAPs, too (but Microsoft's Local.Live is at least equally good, if not better, and Zilow has some unque features) - but nothing impressed/impresses me. We will see it.
