Google announces plans to launch mobile service at MWC

Google has confirmed plans that the company is launching its own Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) with existing partners, said a senior Vice President at Google Sundar Pichai.

According to the Verge, Pichai said in a statement at Mobile World Congress that the company is working towards creating its own MVNO but did not disclose the names of the partners.

If rumours are to be believed, the existing partners of Google on the project are Sprint and T-Mobile networks.

Pichai said that Google does not intend to be a "carrier at scale". Google is aiming at breaking down the barriers of how connectivity works, said Pichai.
