Google's mobile virtual network operator has been in the news for a few months with several hints and rumors circling about what the search giant is preparing for the U.S. wireless market.

It looks like we've hit the gold mine with a new report from Android Police detailing most of the service -- named Project Fi internally -- letting customers know what to expect.

For the most part, it looks like Google will utilize the MVNO in the same way others do but with more emphasis on Wi-Fi and switching carriers at will. Sprint and T-Mobile USA are the two carriers working with Google but both offer less than impressive service nationwide.

To cover for this lack of service everywhere, Google is investing heavily into public Wi-Fi and will make sure wherever possible to set-up the Wi-Fi. This may be hard given most Wi-Fi networks require a password, and some even force customers to sign-up.

There is no evidence in the leaked report of Google automatically signing customers up or knowing the password, although we wouldn't be surprised if the latter was added before launch to avoid any unnecessary shutdowns of service.

Google will offer a set amount of SMS, calls and data. If customers go over, they'll pay the excess at the end of the month; if they go under they will be credited. They may also be allowed to keep the data for future months although this was not detailed in the report.

Interestingly, Google is using Project Fi as a way to pay for other things like mobile contracts. Customers will also be able to sign-up multiple devices and people to a singular plan without any of the additional costs normally associated.

This type of freedom doesn't exist in the current wireless carrier market but it will soon. The app seems to be well in its late stages and we wouldn't be surprised to see it appear at Google I/O in June.

There are some questions that still remain about the application, especially since AP doesn't seem overly confident in the leaked report. We were hoping that by the time it launches, Google may have brought either AT&T or Verizon Wireless -- the latter recently accepted a patent agreement with Google -- into the fray to offer service.

Sprint and T-Mobile USA don't contribute an awful lot when it comes to nationwide coverage, even though they're cheaper. Hopefully, Google will find a way to integrate the system perfectly into everyday life.

The Nexus 6 is the only smartphone that will be available for Project Fi when it launches. We expect Google is in talks with other providers to bring their smartphones onto the carrier.
