I don't buy this:
Why would a little extra data storage require 1000 new index servers and a year of time? Why couldn't Google double their number of index servers in one week? Reindexing a table is not difficult. Mirroring everything offline is totally within their ability and budget.
Lastly, this idea contradicts the fundamental concept of Google's algoriithm, their branding, and their ability to plan. It looks like nothing but a cheap shot, worthy of Microsoft post thug disruption tactics.

fnet and who would googleguy be exactly? seeing as I posted a conversation with a google employee that flat out said he didnt even work for them, and was merely a shill for webmasterworld. Of course webmasterworld deleted that post almost immediately and banned that persona from posting again.
actually the 4 to 5 byte conversion is a good possibility however i have to agree with you about the timeframe. A year? I doubt that immensely, but a month to 2 is possible as stated there are 4 billion entries across multiple tables.
as for googleguy, if you pay attention he has never once uttered a solid answer to anything, he talks in vagueries to slip some of his friends services to newbies.
