Google will inevitably stand up to the telephone companies. Fighting for the old TV frequencies is as good a place to start as any.

In 25 years, do you think that Google or the telephone companies will be more relevant?

The telephone companies.

Google is a stack of contracts and IP; they're made of very ephemeral stuff. The telco's have enduring physical assets. Now, some P2P wireless topology might eventually kill the telco's, but I doubt it.

They own a ton of physical infrastructure.
