TECHNOLOGY The company launches a subscription that uses the 4G wireless networks to surf and call …
Google mobile operator, it’s done. On Wednesday, the company introduced Project Fi [Fai] a phone plan launched in the United States, by invitation, and for those who own a Nexus 6. The opportunity to test the waters and above all, as he did with its offer Google Fiber, shaking a US market that seriously lacks competition.
