Do you remember Google plans to become an operator? Well there are a very important to be a customer of the big G condition, you can only use their network through a Nexus 6

The last January news that surprised many emerged: Google would be signing agreements with two US carriers to become a Mobile Virtual Operator , beginning locally and then expand. Since then, we have not heard more about this mysterious deal to date, and is that the Wall Street Journal has released a condition that will limit greatly the user base of Google as operator: you can only use their network through a Nexus 6 .

With poor historical sales of Nexus, this choice is simply strange.

This news surprises by the choice of terminal for use on your network: the Nexus 6 , terminal 650 US dollars or euros in its most basic model, whose sales numbers, even without knowing, we assume that fail to figures Samsung, Sony or LG. If Google wanted to generate a significant user base for your carrier to start with, should have chosen another popular smartphone , even resorting to competition, although this may simply be an experiment to control the quality . and network usage

What is clear is that Google plans are ambitious: in the words of Sundar Pichai , Google seeks to become an indispensable part working with telecommunications operators, and self Wall Street Journal says that this network could reach the end of March (although delays are expected on arrival). We’ll see if this new experiment is more successful, or simply becomes a story like Google Fiber which, despite its speed and quality network has a presence merely anecdotal in the US.
