Rumors, via Ars http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/01/report-google-to-launch-wireless-service-this-year/, that Google is going to be operating a pilot MVNO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_virtual_network_operator) combining Sprint & T Mobile networks.
Also Ting, a Sprint MVNO, is adding GSM to it's offerings https://ting.com/blog/ting-to-offer-service-on-a-gsm-network/.
[Wikipedia on GSM & CDMA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_mobile_phone_standards]
Suspect there is some connection here, not necessarily that they are working together, perhaps T Mobile & Sprint are partnering at some level?
Ting has a very interesting pricing structure, you pay for what you use, see https://ting.com/rates for details.
I'm planning on giving Ting a try around March/April 2015, to see how good it is with GSM.
I'll post my thoughts on Ting's GSM here on my Blog.
