With today’s news about the Nexus One, how it may or may not bet an iPhone “killer”, and how Google is challenging the way that we purchase cell phones in this country, I need to write this letter to both Google and Apple to let them know that they could potentially take over the mobile landscape:

Ok, I know that you guys are two different companies and everything, and that you are in competition with each other, but I think that your real problem here is the cell companies, not each other. You both can obviously create some awesome platforms and devices so now I need you to create an awesome network to go with them.

Yes, Verizon is grand (my current carrier) and the others are OK too, in most places, but I need some ubiquitous, fast, inexpensive coverage of this country pronto. You both have the money to do it and I am sure that the ol’ FTC wouldn’t mind if you just took over some white space as long as you grease their palms a little.

So, this year just do it. Your current and future devices require some awesome coverage. How will you make your money advertising this year without it? No need to rely on these bloated and slow companies anymore. Just let them know who’s boss.

Thanks.

This doesn’t seem too absurd, does it? If any tech company could do this right now it would be Apple or Google. Google seems to be closer to doing something like this than Apple, mostly because Google is a company of engineers that enjoy some creative destruction and have little to no PR skills.

With the coming of the Apple Tablet and Apple’s purchase of Quattro, we can see that advertising as well as app stores are important to them as well as Google. This is obviously where the money is going to be made this year as regular online advertisement is not doing so hot. What better way to make sure that you make some money than controlling everything yourself?

Maybe there is an easier way than destroying huge corporations to make sure that your platform runs at full speed? Maybe not.
