Google will soon offer wireless service through Sprint and T-Mobile

It has often been rumored that Google will eventually get into the wireless mobile game, and it looks like that dream will come true. As part of something codenamed Nova, Google won’t be starting their own service, but will instead opt to be an MVNO for Sprint and T-Mobile.

If you’re not familiar with what an MVNO is, it’s a mobile virtual network operator, or basically a re-seller of another carrier’s service. For example, Ting is a Sprint MVNO and Straight Talk is the same for both T-Mobile and AT&T. You can now add Google to the mix.

According to The Information, Google wants to not only offer lower prices, but also improve the user experience. They are also developing mobile apps to go along with the service.

Google has not commented, but the report indicates that they have been working on this project since the fall of last year, and the service could launch sometime this year.

Does this excite you? Neither Sprint nor T-Mobile excites me since their coverages are dismal in my area, but I am intrigued to see Google get into the game.
