Google Wants to Become Wireless Carrier in the U.S.

Can you imagine Google wireless carrier in the U.S.? This company is well-known among smartphone users and computer users. Google software, browser, mail service are pretty popular and the fact that the company signed deals with two American carriers T-Mobile [it plans to pass Sprint in 2015] and Sprint was actually a hint that it also wants to become a mobile operator.

Google as U.S. Wireless Carrier

Google deal with Sprint and T-Mobile which are the third and fourth major carriers in the United States allows it to resell their services. In other words, the company can become MVNO and provide faster Internet connection and cool pricing. It is not known how much its cellular service can cost to iPhone and other device owners in the U.S.

What can happen if Google starts to use the wireless spectrum and provide lower pricing for customers? Can this company force other mobile operators to offer cheaper pricing and faster Internet access? Anything can happen after Google and T-Mobile / Sprint deal starts to work.

Sprint seems to have some fears. At least, there is a volume trigger in Goggle – Sprint contract that allows negotiations once MVNO subscriber base reaches a particular threshold.

It is known that the wireless carrier project is named ‘Nova’ and led by Nick Fox from Google.

Would like to see a new carrier enterting the United States network market? It can be better for customers and subscribers as they will be able to choose even better plans and services.
