MWC2010: Google has no plans to compete with mobile operators

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: With the test of gigabit-to-the-home technology and selling 60,000 Android smartphones a day, Google has started investing in the wireless network but has no plans to compete with network operators. The announcement was made by Google CEO Eric Schmidt at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona

However, the investments made in the network infrastructure, and the trials of FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) do not indicate that it wants to become the network operator. Instead the focus of the company is on its search advertising and enterprise software businesses.

According to Schmidt, as the company rolls out new applications, its engineers are increasingly developing for mobile first because they are more excited by its greater potential, although the goal is still to develop for all platforms and not to favor Android, the mobile OS that the company helped develop.
