Would Google actually consider buying T-Mobile?

eWeek writer Wayne Rash suggests that this would make for a perfect vertically integrated information company.  My first reaction was: impossible.  But my second reaction is: I wish it could be true.

These seem to me to be the problems of mobile: SPEED and AVAILABILITY.  They are anathema to Google's desire to push people away from the desktop and native apps, to the internet as a service, everywhere.  This may be the 10-year future plan, and you can already see the transition: tablets and the Chromebook.  But this might be too disruptive for the government to absorb.

Oh well...I never thought Google would actually buy Motorola, either.
