re: Google launches its own mobile network for Nexus 6 owners

Also, I don't think a lot of people are figuring their actual usage, and how much of what they currently pay for is wasted. Even rollover data plans waste data when they expire.

I have unlimited and don't even use 5-6gb between me and my wife. My bill with Google would be $30 a month most of the time because I work at home and use Wifi, so my data usage is measured in megabytes. My wife uses somewhere between 2 and 4 GB. On average, our bill would be $80 a month, sometimes $70. Over the last year, our highest data usage was 3.5gb each, so that would equate to $120 on our bill. Still less than we're paying now, unless you include the subsidized phones.

Two issues though:
1. My wife likes iPhones. It wouldn't be difficult to convince her to go with an Android phone, but she sees my Nexus 6 daily and knows she'd never want to lug that big-arse phone around.

2. As someone said above, I don't believe those coverage maps for a minute.
