However Apple didn’t mention which company will bring these products to China but there are two main candidates including China Unicom and China Telecom. We are trying to check out sources close to the two companies to see if they have already announced any information about iPhone 5 on their network or not.
However we are just one week away from the release date. We will keep it update. Stay tunes.
Google with help by Dish Network will launch wireless service in 2013. Google has been so active in providing this similar service for public as the company has already provide its fiber ISP services on the Stanford campus and in Kansas City and of course Google is willing to expand its coverage.
However seem like this service might hurt mobile phone sectors that AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile have blocked some of Google services including Google Voice and Google Wallet.
This reaction won’t stop Google when Dish Network who has been in this business since 2008. Dish Network can’t provide the best service alone and with Google, they will be able to do better. In 2013 we will see wireless service offered by the two companies.
