Google has been throwing hints of becoming a mobile virtual network operator soon, but the details of its newest service have leaked online sooner than expected. Project Fi, also popular for the secret project name "Nova" is said to take a whole new data charging approach, billing users for what they were only able to consume for a month.
The company has previously announced that their newest project will be big on wifi in order to keep the cost of data usage down; however, leaked details have suggested that a user will not actually need a plan to execute its most notable features because they could pay by the GB for data consumption. It will also implement a refunding system when data allowance is not used-up.
The web operating company has appeared to have been spreading network coverages across two mobile service providers, Sprint and T-Mobile, in an aim of providing the best connection all the time.
Fi will also accommodate users who own several mobile devices by allowing them to share a data plan across a number of products.
Google has not officially released an official statement about Project Fi and whether or not it will be launched outside of the United States or not. All leaked information was put together and published by Android Police.
Meanwhile, other reports have suggested that Project Fi will make international roaming free of charge, Gizmodo reported. Google has been in talks with a UK carrier so its network from partner carriers will not be solely stateside.
