Google Gets in Bed With Mobile Operators Again

[Commentary] Mobile operators may be making some progress in their attempts to share the cost of network build out with Internet companies. France Telecom said it is in talks with Google about offering segmented services for users, so those who want faster or more stable service can pay more with the two sharing the revenue. It’s part of a larger push by FT to come to some agreement with Silicon Valley companies. France Telecom CEO Stephane Richard told investors that FT would have an announcement along those lines in the coming weeks.
