When my phone drops a call and I have to call back the person to whom I was talking, I sometimes say that if someone could prevent calls from dropping they could make a billion dollars. While it may not be possible to prevent dropped calls from everywhere – especially in rural areas – Google has come up with a novel idea to not only reduce the number of dropped calls, but also enable better data connection speeds everywhere.
How are they going to do this? Basically, Google is going to act as a “super carrier” and aggregate the individual carriers and available Wi-Fi to yield a single carrier delivery to the user. Google has called this new program Project Fi.
