CNET: IPO day may be approaching for Google

A new round of Google IPO rumors flew around in recent days, as Google is expected to be required to make SEC filings due to its increased number of shareholders, even before going public. The most interesting tidbits falling out of the stories on the rumors are comments from Google insiders and VC investors that an internal debate rages between VCs who want to go public in a fairly conventional manner and executives who would rather do so in a way that sacrificed share value for continued company control.
