"Privacy" is not the problem set I'd pick to compete on in this space unless you are going full crypto like Silent Circle.

Instead, I'd focus on GV's actual weak points (instead of some invasion of privacy suggestion which ends up sounding like FUD, usually).

Weak points like no real team set up, no good multi-number international support, etc. There is a huge laundry list of things you could be going after.

Instead, this looks like less of a service for more money.

Offered in the spirit of constructive criticism. I use GV all day every day and am very happy with it, but it has a several glaring flaws (privacy isn't one of them as far as I'm concerned). The next step up to a full service vpbx system is a HUGE leap in terms of cost and complexity. The gap between those two is wide open.
