Amazon is in talks with wireless carriers about offering a low-cost or potentially free nationwide mobile phone service to Prime subscribers, Bloomberg reports, citing unnamed sources.
The company has been negotiating with Verizon, T-Mobile US and Dish Network for the lowest possible wholesale prices, with its eyes set on offering wireless plans for $10 a month or possibly for free, the unnamed sources told Bloomberg.
The talks have been occurring for six to eight weeks, but the plan could take several more months to launch or be scrapped, one source told Bloomberg.
