While an interesting idea it could have many unintended consequences like:
a) more expensive devices for consumers – as carriers cannot recover the full cost of handsets over the life of their mobile contract.
b) less coverage and choice of carriers – as investment moves away from infrastructure like towers/new cables for which their is no return. No one likes their industry “commoditised”.

Time will tell.

“google does not want to help people who really need it. the starving, homeless and malnourished.”

Are you for real???

Clint Boulton, of Google Watch, on his “Did Google Sabotage Ringside Networks?” tried to convince people that Google is a philanthropic-seeming social software player.

Google is A COMPANY… (an amazing in my opinion)

When the prices for unlimited mobile and data access are in the neighborhood of $99/mo and declining, as a power user I am unlikely to want to make choices every time I want to make a call. Perhaps the software can do this for the user automatically, but for a certain segment of the user population, arguably both at the low end or the high end where the volumes and dollars are – this is unlikely to change user behavior.

It could be interesting in global roaming environments, where the billing is metered and the costs atrocious.

Hi Oliva,

Hopefully i can open a few eyes about the “reality” of gaggl and to have people consider who they say they “Love”, before they say it.

Gaggl does not have have soul, nor does it care about people on a humanity level. They are billionaires running a “awareness” campaign about poverty. Its like Microsoft running a campaign about poverty saying “look at all the poor people, poor things”. Its disgraceful when you think about it.

Billionaires that care about poor people “GIVE”. We dont need to look at poverty, we need to attack it with the only thing that will cure it, “MONEY” and a “sincere committment” to end it.

Billionaires need to put there Money where the Mouth is.

Wealth Squating AKA Greed, is the root cause for all poverty and problems in the world.

I believe billionaires have a “moral” obligation to help those who are in need.

Nice start for a mission, maybe. But has the google boardroom thought a step beyond this. What if a user likes a Nokia phone but with Windows mobile on it; a Motorola with Symbian on it. I know there are roundabouts to do this; but unless we don’t give users the flexibility we will have businesses complain about illegality. That’s a truly free world.

OK, when i travel abroad, my cell phone selects a carrier. So for example, when i’m in India, i get Airtel the one time, and Hutch or Vodafone the other. So how is this different?
