Industry analysts believe that Google will be using the network to create a stress on the pricing of the major mobile operators in America such as Verizon and AT&T who are enjoying high profit margins in comparison to their European equivalents. The project is used to cheer the operators prompting them to invest in latest technology to enhance the mobile coverage through Wi-Fi networks.

Google adopted a similar plan in the fixed line telecom market in US with the Google Fiber. This project is aimed to build fiber optic networks in those cities where there has been an absence in the investment for internet infrastructure. Same way, the Nexus lineup of devices from Google is influencing the device makers.

The sources have made it clear that there is no plan for Google to enter the mobile network market in the UK for the foreseeable future. The telecom market in Europe is competitive and the roaming charges are almost getting eliminated by the service providers.

However, there is no comment from both Google and Three regarding this plan. Anyways, the telecom industry will fear the entry of Google into the mobile market.
