Google VoIP offering makes 1 million calls in first 24 hours

Speaking of Google's perceived VoIP dominance, the first 24 hours of the new VoIP calling service was quite a show of force. According to Mashable, Google connected one million calls in the first 24 hours of being live.

The one million calls were apparently all of the free variety connecting calls within the US or Canada. Google says that they will keep such calls free for the rest of the year with no indication of how that pricing structure will change after the deadline. The first one million calls was a clear indication of the power of Google's product launching capabilities and with over 176 million users by last count (back in 2009!). Google's Gmail service has put VoIP calling on the screens of many more users.
