Google allegedly close to launching its own MVNO service using Sprint & T-Mobile

Google is working on its own wireless service for phones that would piggyback on the networks of T-Mobile and Sprint, The Information reports. The Verge has been able to independently verify that the project is indeed underway. By purchasing bandwidth from two of the big four national carriers instead of building its own wireless network, Google would be launching what's known as an MVNO; other big MVNOs include Tracfone and Simple Mobile.
The company's interest in providing internet service directly to consumers has grown in recent years, both in developed markets — Google Fiber, for instance — and in rural areas through Project Loon and Google's recent investment in SpaceX. (It's no coincidence that Google outspent traditional telecom companies on lobbying efforts in Washington, DC last year — an impressive feat, considering how much money the telecoms are accustomed to spending there.)

I wonder of Google will interrupt your phone conversation with Adsense.

Google has signed deals with Sprint and T-Mobile that will allow it to sell wireless service directly to consumers, reports The Wall Street Journal, adding to a report released by The Information earlier today. The publication's sources suggest that Google's entry into the wireless service industry may be part of an effort to persuade carriers to bolster speeds and cut down on pricing. Positioning itself as a wireless carrier is also part of Google's larger effort to provide better Internet coverage across the United States.

For sure.
Gets you rock hard just thinking about it. Google set the standard for Internet with fiber, driving prices down and speeds up...now on to wireless providers. You're doing gods work, Google.
