Back in January we Heard multiple unconfirmed reports That Google was planning to enter the wireless network market and offer smartphone buyers a different option aside from Verizon, AT & T, and other big-name carriers , And Those details Were All confirmed Earlier this week.
This week During the annual Mobile World Congress tradeshow in Barcelona, Spain, Google’s own Sundar Pichai, Senior VP of products, They confirmed plan to build, test, and experiment with a small scale US wireless service and will announce details in the coming months. Today though, the Wall Street Journal Reportedly has even more details.
According To the Wall Street Journal the initial launch of Google’s new MVNO Wireless network Could aspirations launch as soon as “in the coming weeks” but They have no solid release date. Their sources Also confirm Google’s Motorola-made Nexus 6 will be on board and supported by the new wireless network
We’ve Been hearing rumors small acerca Google becoming a wireless carrier for years, just like we Heard talks of them becoming ISP like they’ve done with Google Fiber, and now some of Those details are finally starting to emerge Now That Google’s confirmed they’ll . enter the market
As we Mentioned Earlier this week, Google does not want to compete With Verizon, AT & T, or other partners That Their offer Android devices around the US. Instead, They want to build a small scale Completely different network in the United States to test emerging technology, new ways to deliver text, mms, and data connections to our devices. They’ll do esta by sharing Sprint, T-Mobile, and WiFi hotspots all at once to Always Have service, no matter what, and let the device Instantly jump to the best connection at Any Given Moment. It’s a bold approach, and is probably only one small aspect of Google’s plans.
According To sources close to the matter, Google’s Wireless network, codenamed NOVA, will Possibly be unveiled and Launched in a limited test run in the coming weeks. There’s a catch however it, and the network will only support one device at launch. That Being Google’s own Nexus 6 smartphone released last year.
Google’s Sundar Pichai made sure to mention more than eleven That this is a small test for now, and They do not have any plan (At least for now) to launch a full-scale network can compete That With The others in the United States. It’s more a network to be used as a testing ground, a proof of concept, and to help push innovation forward in terms of mobile, and how we connect our devices to the internet and get service on a daily basis.
If Google does indeed limit access to only the Nexus 6, esta will be a very limited service only a select few can use, not to mention we’re Assuming there will be a sign-up and invite system. Meaning not everyone can try the new Google wireless network, and it will not Possibly even be open to the public Until esta year later.
For now all the details are extremely light. We do not know what Google has planned, how much they’ll even reveal When They make announcements, or who all can use network esta When it does indeed go live. Google’s head of Android did say we’ll learn more soon, so we’ll be on the lookout for additional details as Google preps to enter the wireless network game
