I'm not sure why this would be such a big deal for Google.. I know they might be communicating between .co.uk <-> .com etc.. But apart from that, why would Google benefit so much from this ?

It's not just google.com and google.co.uk, but also youtube.com, gmail.com, doubleclick.com, etc. Starting to see the bigger picture?

Ah okay, I see.. If anything I see the potential for more domain certifiation fraud, expired domains still being attatched somhow o an entity.. but makes sense now why they would push for it.

It's Google's proposal, but it actually affects any entity having multiple domains. Think of publishers like Conde who have multiple magazines, or a company with regional domains (company.co.uk, company.com) or a content site set up for specific company-driven event (thecoolshow.com)... All of these would enable the entity to manage user experiences better, instead of having to do hacks, multiple logins, or other user hassles.

doubleclick.com is Google's ad platform.
