Google is quietly plotting infrastructure dominance

When puzzle pieces are out of order and spread across the table, it’s easy to miss the big picture. But there’s a reason they’re all in the same package. The same could be said of the wide range of announcements coming out of Google over the past year. Allow me to connect some of the puzzle pieces for you. Google’s recent updates are all part of a plan to secure infrastructure dominance. Notably, the company appears to be focusing its efforts across three main areas: compute, communications, and power. These actions could position Google as a key player in what may become a unified infrastructure market, but if nothing else, they will secure the hyperscaler’s future as critical utility assets become increasingly interdependent and scarce.
