The chatter surrounding a Google Voice launch was downright feverish Thursday, prompting many to speculate the event was imminent. Details were sparse, and the launch didn’t come, but Google is definitely ready to do something based on new info.

That info? How about one million newly reserved phone numbers with Level 3, the provider Google’s been using in tandem with Voice since the beginning? Does that get your telecommunications itch scratched?
