Google Says Google-Branded Network to Launch in Months

Mar 2, 2015, 7:51 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Google today said the company will announce Google-branded wireless service at some point in the coming months. The comments were made by Google's Sundar Pichai, who was speaking at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona. Pichai says Google hopes to use the service to highlight newer technologies, not compete with incumbent companies. Google will work with wireless carrier partners to offer the service, rather than create a network of its own. Various reports have suggested that Google is prepared to partner with Sprint and T-Mobile, but Google still hasn't confirmed any details.

An MVNO piggybacking on both Sprint & T-Mobile, WHOOPEE!!!

With these 2 combined you come with 1/2 a viable nationwide network. Still not one tower here in Montana between the two & absolutely dismal coverage in surrounding states (& most of the west) as well. Maybe if they offer a heckuva price & you live in a large city but would be hard pressed to think they would beat Cricket or MetroPCS in cities. Total Wireless (Verizon) even being on 3G only with 2 lines for $60 & 5GB is a more newsworthy event. Bummer, I was so hoping with Google's deep pockets for a REAL coast-to-coast #3 carrier to compete with AT&T & Verizon. Still no one I guess. Hoping America Movil with all their brands (Straight Talk, Net10, Page Plus, Total, Tracfone, Simple Mobile) would hope to not be just an MVNO here foreve...
