(MENAFN) US Internet giant Google says it is in talks with telecom companies about operating its own mobile phone services inside the United States, AFP reported.
Google currently does not have its own mobile phone services, but its Android operating system can be used on more than 80 percent of the world's smartphones.
If it moved into providing mobile phone coverage, Google would enter a market dominated by four big players: Sprint, T-Mobile, which is part of the Deutsche Telekom group, Verizon and AT&T.
"We are actually working with carrier partners. You will see us announce it in the coming months. We don't intend to be a network operator at scale," Google's senior vice-president for products said.
