I would guess that Google would be willing to open up to a network of
other jabber servers once the problem of spam is solved.
The only reason we don't have spam (spim, rather) now on the Jabber
network is that the market is too small for it.
It remains though to be seen whether a formula can be worked out to
combat the spam possibilities. It could be something along the lines of
ill-behaving jabber servers being blocked from the network of the
SPIM-fighting servers. But it's easy to just change the domain of your
jabber so you're accepted again and start spamming again.
There's a possibility that such a formula will never be found. Or maybe
it will take years to design new necessary protocols.
For these reasons I doubt Google will open up in the next many months.
In the meantime I believe we would have use for a Google-Talk transport.

Is anyone thinking of making a Google Talk transport for Jabber?
