Still don’t think that Google isn’t interested in the telco space?

Maybe this will give the carriers something to worry about.

And gees, just what does Grand Central do? From Michael Arrington at Tech Crunch in the US,

The basic idea around GrandCentral is “one phone number for all your phones, for life.” As we change jobs, homes and cell phones, there are a lot of phone numbers to keep track of, and keeping everyone up to date with your most recent phone numbers is a real cost. If you use GrandCentral you can give out a single phone number. What happens when that person calls that number depends on his/her relationship to you, and what you are doing at the time.

Coverage is here and here.

The ability to do this has been around for years. The carriers have had the capability for a long time. I just cant figure out why it takes a start up and then a search engine to provide the shot in the arm. Grand Central is a product, an application, a service that makes life easier. Not more complicated. But then again, you cant expect innovation from a phone company. Or can you?
