Google confirms plan to offer wireless service
By Lisa Fleisher

Google Inc. plans to launch a small-scale U.S. wireless service and will announce details in the coming months, a top executive at the technology giant said Monday.

The service would be small in scale and not intended to compete with the big four national carriers, Sundar Pichai, who oversees Google’s GOOG, +0.66%GOOGL, +0.77% mobile operating system Android, said in a presentation at an industry conference in Barcelona. Instead, it would be intended to demonstrate technical innovations that the carriers could adopt.

Nonetheless, however small, Google’s entry is likely to send ripples through a business long controlled by Verizon Communications Inc. VZ, -0.83% AT&T Inc. T, -0.93% Sprint and T-Mobile TMUS, -0.15%
