launching a new network is not really going to work out for either of these two companies. google is just experimenting with their 1gbps network to showcase how high speed internet can change people go about their daily lives. this model simply cannot be replicated around the country because of high costs.

launching a new network is high risk compared to acquisition but it require less investment so all depend on this ratio ..
if google can start charging for such plans .. this way they can recover the money they invested .. internet is lifeline of there business so we they have to invest in this sooner or later ... even in case of chrome book they can't survive with out internet ..
about Apple they have alternative product existing but they developing all new product on cloud base ..

some interesting buy out options ...
The company added cash in the latest quarter at a rate of roughly $67 million a day; if that has continued, the actual total should now be another $1.3 billion higher than it was at quarter end. So let’s call the real total $67 billion.
To give you a sense of perspective:
For $67 billion, the company could buy, say both Adobe and Netflix, and still have $30 billion or so left over.
Or they could buy Facbook, which depending on who you ask, is worth something north of $50 billion.
Or they could buy eBay, and have $20 billion left over.
Apple’s cash position is more than 2x the market cap of Dell.
It’s also more than 2x the market cap of Research In Motion; 5x the valuation of ARM Holdings; 9x the market cap of Motorola Mobility.
For $67 billion, you could buy Nokia…and Research In Motion. And still have cash left over.
Or they could branch out, and buy General Motors. And have $20 billion still sitting in the bank.
Or they could buy around 15 billion gallons of gas.
Some day, Apple will do something with that cash. But it didn’t happen today.

Netflix can be a good buy for them... Infact the only companies to acuire that make sense for Apple are netflix & a mobile service provider... Another rumor is that after tablets the next big market apple wants to target is the TV market(hardware not dish network)... I discarded this rumor at 1st but looking at the Sony tv with google tv built-in I have become a fan of smart tvs 
... Apple might be able to do wonders by integrating tv devices into their ios & app store environment... & the apple brand has become so strong that they could easily leverage it to market a consumer item like tv... Anyway we all can only speculate... No one knows what apple is gonna do except maybe SJ

I always used an iPhone to browse the net or watch a movie or reading an ebook while lying on my bed... But now i use the ipad... Using a netbook is out of the question... Just a matter of personal preference... It is not for everyone & certainly not for someone who has to choose between a tablet or a pc/notebook... If given the choice of one or the other I think PC/Laptop is a better choice...
