Will Google Wireless carry the day?

I can't even get service in my home with T-Mobile, so yes, I would sign up for G-wireless. Does that come with a G-phone?

I would love to have them enter the wireless market and shake it up. But I probably wouldn't use their service as I can only imagine the data mining they would do ;>)

I am just waiting on pins and needles for them to do it, as soon as I'm gone AT&T

Let's hope they DO NOT find a 'wireless partner' then it will only be the same BS we get now. Kinda like every other homogenized industry. All we get is the cream of the crap.

Would I sign up? In a heart-beat! I am so tired of getting sc$@$#%d by Sprint and AT&T. Go for it Google!
Fortunately, or unfortunately, data mining wouldn't get much that is exciting from me..... :-)

I'd sign up in a heartbeat. Depending on price, of course.

In a New York Minute baby, I am so there !

Now if only google would make an operating system.... A geek can dream can't he ?

Maybe after Google develops an OS they could branch into the cable TV market. That's another industry that could use some competition!

Hopefully they would also target the Canadian market, because it is not as competitive as the US.

Does this mean no dead areas, as we all would be in the G Spot???

I'd Sign up in a second, The Telecoms are more lethargic then IBM was as the PC-AT clones started showing up.

Even without Google, the big 4 (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile), are going to get slapped.

MetroPCS and Leap (Cricket) are two providers that offer unlimited wireless voice and texting for relatively cheap ($40 from MetroPCS).

But even they don't really "get it" --, for instance, Metro PCS doesn't include a data plan in that.

But until 700 MHz is a reality, it is nice to have choices.

MetroPCS DOES offer data for $5/mo more....

Compare that to my $40 / mo Blackberry access from ATT.

Not all of the wireless companies are lethargic - they just require HUGE capital expenditures to introduce new products, services and coverage areas. Based on the market desire to buy publicly traded stocks that generate large returns, they have to be conservative.

How in the world Google is worth their market cap... I have no idea...

He77 yes, I would sign-up I'm tried of being screwed by the current Wireless vendors.

The question would be the towers. Right now getting the paperwork and putting up towers eat half the profit or more from the cell companies, the rest is eaten by deals with the cell phone mkg, where they design and build the things with no budget because they know the costs will be underwritten by the big four above. These all add up, what are not justified are the $2 411 calls that used to be free, the data plans that don't really use up that much bandwidth since you usually are not doing both at the same time. Even if g does data mine they should force the price down though more likely the big four will sell towers to cover the costs of slightly lowering their plans while paying for the towers will raise googles. Nothing free in life someone has to pay for it.

$2 for 411 calls?

You obviously haven't heard of 1-800-GOOG-411; see: http://www.google.com/goog411/

All the 411 calls you want for free!

The G-guys are already impacting the pockets of the cellular companies...

My wife would get a G-Phone in an instant, especially if it is Wi-Fi enabled. That way, it will work with Google's inevitable worldwide Wi-Fi network of G-Spots. She always says I have trouble finding hers myself!
