Google on Wednesday announced Fi, a program that combines the wireless networks of carrier partners Sprint and T-Mobile with more than 1 million free, open WiFi hotspots Google has verified as fast and reliable. Users’ devices will move automatically to the fastest connection — 4G LTE being the standard in the United States, accessing 3G or 2G if only those speeds are available. The program will work in more than 120 countries. The $20-a-month Fi Basics plan gives users unlimited domestic talk and text in the U.S. Data is another $10 per GB.
Is the comparison something like:
Major carrier 2 yr contract: Free phone, $90 a month for 2 years = $2160
Google Fi for 2 years: $700 phone $40 a month for two years = $1660
???
What am I missing, I am sure there is a catch?
