Not all industry watchers think the move is logical. Will Cheek, an analyst with Parks Associates, told internetnews.com that a Google VoIP offering could be at a disadvantage against services from telecoms or cable operators.

"[Google doesn't] control the actual broadband connection to the home, so they don't have control of quality-of-service," Cheek said.

Those service providers also have the ability to bundle VoIP with other residential services, including high-speed Internet service and video.
