Speaking at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona yesterday (March 2), Google senior vice president regarding products Sundar Pichai confirmed that Google would begin offering services for mobile users after this year. Specifics on what actually Google plans to provide are expected “in the subsequent few months,” in accordance with Pichai.
Pichai's statement confirms a January report from the Information which Google was looking to sell voice plans to customers. That report claimed Google's entry in to the wireless business would be aimed at decreasing prices and improving the consumer experience.
That seems what exactly Pichai has in mind, given his brief remarks in Barcelona. He compared Google's planned attempts with wireless connectivity to what it does with the particular Nexus smartphone. That's the phone Google generates itself as a way to experiment with services and features that may find their way to other mobile phones. “I think we're at the stage exactly where we need to think about software, hardware and also connectivity jointly,” Pichai stated, in accordance with the transcript of his talk posted through the Verge.
That could mean discovering ways to lower the cost of wireless, however Pichai also suggested Google's service might be used to “show enhancements, such as phone calls automaticlaly reconnecting in case someone drops on one end.”
Google would be walking a fine line by making a wireless service, since wireless providers for example AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint are also its partners. However Pichai says that Google has already been in talks along with carriers and is even working with a number of them on its wireless attempts. “Carriers inside the U.S. are what capabilities most of our Android phones, and that model works really well for all of us,” mentioned Mr. Pichai, who characterised Google's wireless plans as “very smaller scale.”
