A little more info on that.

Not sure if Google will able to achieve this with/without VP patents,

Google's Project Fi Patent:

Achieving the market's lowest price isn't Google's goal; proving the efficiency of a network-of-networks is. According to Google, Android smartphones will seamlessly switch both between carrier networks and from carrier networks to Wi-Fi in search of the strongest signal on the fastest and lowest-cost network. Switching will work without interruption even for phone calls. If Google proves a network-of-networks delivers a better mobile experience at a lower cost, perhaps it can enlist more mobile carriers to join its network-of-networks, ultimately improving coverage and capacity.

It appears that Google's patent has a priority date of 03/2007, which I think preceeds VPs patent, but it may be that googles patent doesn't articulate the process the way the VP's does.
