If you're a mere mortal, just like us you surely know that there is nothing more frustrating than running out of Internet data on your phone, and it may be because you used all of it, you’re traveling or it's just a simple tragedy of the modern world. Not being able to access the Internet to watch the video of the cop driving and dancing to Taylor Swift's Shake it Off, is pure cruelty.

Knowing that there is someone out there who is as concerned as you, willing to spend thousands of dollars to ensure that the average Homo Sapiens stays connected 24 hours a day, six days a week (there are some of us who still respect the Sabbath), regardless if you’re vacationing in Europe, sounds really promising. And when that someone is Google, the overall picture is very appealing.

Of course, we would need to ask ourselves why would Google be interested in giving you a 24 hour access just so you can watch the best cop in Dover sing along inside his car. The answer is simple: during 2014 last trimester, Google made over $14.48 billion, which on average turns out to be $23,471 per minute. If you don’t believe us, click here to see how much money the most important companies in the world of technology make in real time. In a nutshell, Google only has income when people who are online use their services on the internet, thus making it obvious why they would be interested in having everyone online at all times.

The best thing is that Google is actually working to make this a reality. Apparently, the first step will be allowing Americans to continue using their cell phones anywhere in Europe, as they would do in their own countries without having to pay extra fees, thanks to a series of agreements signed with services providers. The company’s final plan is creating a global network that allows people to have service anywhere in the world, even in areas within their own countries that have low coverage. This will, depend on a whole other project, known as Loon, which will consist on the use of hot air balloons, which will provide Internet access.

This strategy will be very different to what current service providers have to offer. Google won’t offer a voice plan, its main focus will be on making a omnipresent data network, which allows a simple transition between the network itself and any Wi-fi or cell phone reception from any of the companies who decide to join this proposal, available to all. To sum up, Google wants to offer a service that gives its users access to transfer from one network to another, no matter where they are, just by paying a standard fee, without roaming expenses, and even though this might sounds to good to be true, just remember that Google wants more people online 24/7.

There more time we spend on the Internet, the more we will use its services and the more we will be exposed to its advertising. Furthermore, there is a rumor that this service will only be available for Nexus users, making this business a bit more wholesome. Best of all, Google won’t have to design, build nor operate this network of global communication, instead it will use the companies networks with which it has created alliances.
