Interesting report that Google intends to become an MVNO (reselling wireless service).
[BARCELONA] US Internet giant Google says it is in talks with telecom companies about operating its own mobile phone services in the United States.
"We are actually working with carrier partners. You will see us announce it in the coming months," Sundar Pichai, Google’s senior vice-president for products, said on Monday.
"We don’t intend to be a network operator at scale," however, he added, speaking at the Mobile World Congress, a major telecom trade fair in Barcelona.
The California-based company would become a kind of virtual mobile operator by buying access to existing firms’ networks and selling it on to clients.
