The Information reports that Google executives have discussed their recent hopes to offer a full-fledged wireless service in areas where Google Fiber internet and TV service already exist.
Two sources that sat in on these discussions revealed existing Google Fiber customers in locations like Kansas City, Missouri could also get mobile voice and internet access.
There were not further details on whether this service would be included for no extra charge or when this Google mobile network would roll out. However, the two sources said the company was interested in buying large chunks of existing mobile networks and reselling them to customers. Google purportedly spoke to Verizon in early 2014 as well as Sprint early 2013.
If Google were to undertake the venture, it would essentially become a mobile virtual network operator like AT&T or TMobile.
