Google is known as the world's most popular search engine, though there are also some people who are aware of the many programs it is developing in order to 'make the world a better place' so to speak.
Aside from running the world's biggest and most comprehensive search engine, Google is also known as one of the masterminds of the market's most popular smartphone operating system, Android.
In a new report, the California-based company still looks unsatisfied with its performance as one of the top corporations in the world.
According to a report by GSM Arena, the search engine giant may also have plans to launch its own local network in the United States and become a network provider. If this rumor pushes through, Google will be able to compete with some established companies like T-Mobile and Sprint.
The report was based on a report by The Information, which claimed that the United States company is preparing to become a wireless service provider, initially in the local scene.
In the report, one of the key reasons of Google is to allow itself to monitor the data and call usages of its customers, and not rely on reports by local carriers.
Google will reportedly use the infrastructure used by other network providers such as T-Mobile and Sprint in order to make the project easier to complete. Moreover, Google plans to offer much lower rates than what local wireless carriers currently have.
Aside from the plans to become a network provider, Google is also involved in other projects.
One of the more interesting projects by the search engine giant is the Project Ara modular smartphone, which it retained after it sold Motorola to Lenovo. The handset's premise is simple: it offers the ability to swap smartphone parts depending on what people really need. For instance, the owner can buy a module to improve the camera, the chipset RAM and even the screen.
