The fact that Google preparing its landing in the operators segment is no secret, since one of its top managers (Sundar Pichai) recognized the real interest of this company to take the step. But what has become known now is that the arrival of his new project is imminent, so much so that today it could be officially announced.
The truth is that this step, which we have already talked about on occasion, is logical if one takes into account that one of Google's intentions is to be able to bring access to its services anywhere and, most importantly, you want this to be inexpensive. Therefore, with the arrival of his virtual operator I would try to answer these two questions (first in the US, as is usual in the Mountain View company)
The fact is that as has been known in information that comes from The Wall Street Journal, the day for the landing of Google in the operators sector to be made official is very close, so much so that it is not ruled out that today, the 22nd April, be the one chosen by it to announce it in an official way. By the way, the speculated name it will have would be GoogleWireless (Come on, they would not have broken their heads much with this).
Few data in this regard
Well, the truth is that there is not much information regarding what the new virtual operator of the Mountain View company would offer, apart from the fact that it needs agreements with companies that have a network deployed with which to provide service, which it is speculated that they could be T-Mobile, and, also, Sprint (always talking about the US, of course). Apart from possible service offers there is no data whatsoever, but it is expected that these will be very competitive.
Anyway, if there are any details that have been leaked that could be from the game. For example, the use of WiFi networks, of course, it would be the main one to be used by users. These, in the case of not being in a place with wireless coverage, would make the leap to data, using the networks of the operators with whom Google has agreements (and looking for the best possible coverage). In addition, it is speculated that there could be rates that would be based on consumption to establish the monthly cost to turn off, which would differ much from what other companies currently offer.
The fact is that it seems that Google's virtual operator is very close to being a reality confirming what was announced in the Mobile World Congress and, in addition, the Nexus 6 it would be the big initial star that the Mountain View company would offer its customers. Does it seem like an interesting proposal?
