Ordering pizza has never been easier! I’ve tried it a few times, and if you don’t think about all the bad that could possibly come from it, it’s a great service.

At least one blogger is claiming that Google alledgedly falsifies the Caller-ID that appears to the receiver of the call (http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000200.html). The poster also has updated the post with a proposed solution, however, I think that once telemarketers start using this service as a way around the "do-not-call" list without getting busted, the service will wither away.

They may be trying to compete with Skype. There is plenty of room for abuse here. We can see business owners using it call their suplliers free of charge or telemarketers writing a program to send their recorded pitch to select business in a geographic area. Like all true pragmatists, the proof is in the pudding. Interesting to see where it goes. They may be trying to compete with Skype. There is plenty of room for abuse here.

I wonder what's in it for Google? I can only imagine that they must be compiling data regarding phone numbers, IP addresses, etc. Why else would they charge if you use a cell phone? Just a thought...
