What about this?Predictions for DNS 2010: Google Will Own ISP DNS; knows everything you do http://www.centernetworks.com/predictions-for-google-dns-2010Google Will Own ISP DNSIt’s simple – most Internet providers will outsource their DNS functions to Google. I predict that this will happen by the end of J une 2010. Google has the cash and will make it super sweet for the I SPs to switch. This will also help Google take the main market share for DNS. Changing your DNS servers on your computer is not that eas y and most Internet users will never do it. But if Google partners w ith say Comcast or Time Warner, they can make the change at the serv er level and it will be done automatically. The ISPs get major cash, Google gets the overwhelming share of the DNS function and users ne ver know anything changed.Introducing Google Public DNS http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/introducing-google-public-dns.html 12/03/2009 08:35:00 AMWhen you type www.wikipedia.org into your browser's address bar, you expect nothing less than to be taken to Wikipedia.
