Google reportedly looking at MVNO model (RCR Mobile Minute)

Mobile Minute:
Google has reportedly talked with both Verizon and Sprint about reselling their wireless service under its own brand. The so-called MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) model is similar to that used by Virgin Mobile and Ntelos. Google is reportedly interested in offering wireless service in markets where it already offers broadband Internet service through Google Fiber. IF Google does end up trying to act as a virtual carrier, it would be the first time a major over-the-top player has entered this business. And there is certainly no guarantee that a Tier 1 operator would be willing to strike a deal with Google.
