It’s all
Google now am sure even some people inside the IT giants come knows that.
Recently there has been some complains from the technology pioneers about
Google monopolizing the industry wither the arguments are right or wrong is not
up for me to decide. Once it was all Microsoft there were even powerful enough
to sabotage the leading internet browser of that time the father of the
browsers Netscape by releasing Internet explorer for free and available for
everyone who purchases their OS.
The only difference between Microsoft monopoly
and Google monopoly is about the availability of the products for free and the
means in which the companies make the money. While most of the Google services
and products available for free online their opponents are selling almost
everything, for them income is through selling things and for Google is by
gaining acceptance and creating more rooms for more customers. With Google’s
android OS and Microsoft windows mobile OS the competition become more fistful
and the chances of having a win-win situation keep on decreasing.
“Google have
replacement for everything G+ FOR Facebook, Google docs for Office, Google talk
for Skype Google translate for online dictionary, Google Earth for Bing
satellite search results” words of my geek friend when we were discussing how
the giants are monopolizing the industry. The main secret of Google success is
their ability to blend in with the locals and giving back to the community.
Recently Google has been conducting a lot of research and funding a lot of
projects in Africa.
The Google ambassador programs, the Gtug groups, the Google
conferences and many other activities are the reason for Google success. Google
always welcomed in Africa due to their supports to the local communities, the farmer’s
projects in Uganda through Google SMS apps in association with local mobile
company MTN and Ngo it is among the Google services in Africa.
I don’t have problem with Google monopolizing the industry if
they will continue to play with the same ethics in the game. Google should
focus more in consolidating themselves and living the idea of sabotaging other
companies far away. We love them because they play fairly and they real help
when the support is required.
