The next thing Dish does well will be the first.

Does either Google or Dish have their own cellular infrastructure?

I'm sure it will be drastically overpriced monthly fees as well.

No, but Dish has a shit load of spectrum that is going unused. And Google has cash...

I'm a bit skeptical, but I wouldn't be surprised to see something. They could even try to partner with a company like Tmobile.

Google has a big interest in making sure that mobile remains opens and affordable. The current powers, not so much.

Why do you say that? Google is offering free internet (5Mbps) for life after a one-time fee of $300 or you can opt to pay $25/mo for a year instead. Hardly a money-grubbing tactic.

I'll hope for the best but I have yet to see a good cell phone contract.

I would be all over that internet offer if they had only come to Topeka,

They will eventually. I'm just saying that Google doesn't seem like a money-grubbing bastard company.

ROFL

Really?

They're quietly collecting info about EVERY facet of your life. Why do you suppose that is?
