According to one former executive interviewed for todays New York Times article, Google is trying to raise the cost of entry for its competitors by building up the cost of delivering baseline search and Web-based applications service.
Its huge installation along the Columbia river on the Washington-Oregon border is part of that overarching plan. Like the aluminum factories that came before it, Google came here in search of inexpensive electricity to power its huge bank of processors and the systems used to keep them from overheating.
So what’s Google building in there? (iTunes) Nobody knows for now.
