Now that I think about it, my phone number has been on Google for more than 10 years with Google Voice.
Agreed. Ten bucks says they'll sell off Fi within the next 10 years. See Google Domains sell off to Squarespace as a recent example.
Why would they do that? Owning the connection between user and internet seems pertinent to Google's interests. Then, even a phone vendor like Apple can't block you from accessing core customer data like location, device id, etc.
And there is no telling who'll buy it... probably a company like Comcast / Xfinity which is already universally hated.
Good point. Customer service is non-existent with Google as well.
