This week: It is rumored that Google is merging Voice into Hangouts. I thought "as long as I get to keep my number". Then I realized - do we need phone numbers anymore? Is Google moving away from the phone number to audio or video hangouts? What would happen if you didn't have a cell phone number - just a data plan?
