Google Is Now A Domain Registrar....

This would seem to make sense to me as well.
A company like google can use it's power to prevent any domain theft a  
la panix.com however..
they are probably also intending to make it easier for people to create  
custom domains for their blogs on blogspot.
I wonder if google intends to use the dark fiber in conjunction with  
the new video thing?
Currently it only indexes CC data, but it seems like they intend to  
stream video at some point.
That would require a massive amount of bandwidth, hence the need for  
dark fiber.
