Google Project Fi wireless network may launch today

Google's mobile phone network - whether it's called Project Nova, Project Fi, Google Wireless, or something else - might launch as soon as today.

As previous rumors said, Google's wireless service will let customers pay only for the data they actually use - and not a megabyte more - and take full advantage of Wi-Fi calling, reports the Wall Street Journal.

And like we've heard before, Google's mobile service will reportedly be a mobile virtual network that piggybacks off of T-Mobile's and Sprint's networks, making Google an MVNO.

Most importantly, perhaps, the site corroborates the previous claim that Google's wireless service will be exclusive to the Nexus 6 at launch.

Immediately disruptive

That might boost Nexus 6 sales, but with such a severe limitation Google Wireless probably won't be as immediately disruptive as Google Fiber has been.

Then again, it's not hard to imagine Verizon and AT&T quaking in their boots right now. Even T-Mobile and Sprint might be a bit scared, despite their involvement; the Wall Street Journal article says the decision to license their networks out to Google wasn't made "lightly," at least at Sprint.

And if the experiment works, Google could potentially expand the service outside the US - provided carriers in other countries are willing to make similar deals.

The WSJ says Google might unveil the service as early as today, so we'll definitely be keeping an eye out for any announcements.
