In the country of Telefonica, the incumbent Spanish telco that has become the third largest operator in the world, after China Mobile and Vodafone, it is difficult to think of how Google may become a disruptive team player. It all started when they released the Nexus One phone, the long time expected mobile phone competing with that marvel called the iPhone and with the wide spectrum of Android-based phones, and also Blackberry. I followed last week when Google announced they were launching a fiber to the home network and also providing a small town in Oregon, The Dalles free wi-fi.
