The may want to setup their own terms with the carriers, and Google has way more leverage.

Bandwidth.com is so much more than a cell company. They are a registered CLEC in all 50states plus a b2b company for internet and such. They power companies such as GV/GC, Skype, UPS and much more in voice systems. They also are a law firm with HUGE pockets. Plus its a human based company not some email crap to contact anyone that Google hides behind. The owners of Bandwidth.com will never sell too much invested and wottth more than Google and been around pre-Google.

Not true that Google has more leverage. Bandwidth.com is a CLEC that owns everything Google Voice is powered by. Who do you think Google is going to go get help from in terms of being a licensed cellular provider??? Bandwidth.com as they owned a cell company before RW. Google still has a lot of legal issues to become an MVNO they still must go to each state PUC and get licensed and pay taxes in those states.

Huh? Bandwidth is a blip compared to Google and its ad revenue.

Yes but a blip compared to Google ad money. Stll bandwidth has supplied Google with DIDs etc through Bandwidth and has Republic Wireless.
Does wonder if Bandwidth will have at least some small stake in what Google does.
I use Republic Wireless. Do not need hand holding and like the cost. But Google has never been known for customer service. Ok any one with fiber and is customer service outsourced to those who pretend to care?
Unless Google has a great price I like Republic for now and would hate to see them killed by a Goliath just pretending to do something. Another fad. Though I bet their patents make money.
