From InfoWorld: Google has already admitted it wants to become a mobile carrier, but specific details about what that service will look like are still sketchy.
Until recently, that is. Android Police thinks it has a good handle on the details. The Android-focused site recently came across a system image for the Nexus 6 apparently containing an app for the Google-ified mobile service.
After treating the app to a teardown, it revealed a lot about Google's mobile ambitions such as flat rate pricing, roll over data usage, Google Voice porting, ads based on your call history, and shared data pools between multiple devices.
The working name for Google's upcoming carrier effort is Project Fi, according to Android Police's teardown. Whether that's the final name or a placeholder is unclear, but we'll stick with that name for now.
Project Fi will reportedly have its own dedicated app that will let you carry out most of what you need for using the service, including activation, resuming or putting service on hold, paying bills, switching plans, and tracking data usage.
