Google and Broadband

Google is in talks to acquire Nokia Oyj’s airplane broad-
band business as the Alphabet Inc. unit seeks to tap into
new services and reach more users by offering in-flight
high-speed internet, people familiar with the matter said.

Nokia’s technology could help Google offer a faster
alternative to existing Wi-Fi on airplanes, said the people,
who asked not to be identified because the deliberations
are private. Talks are advanced and an agreement may
be reached soon, the people said.

A final decision hasn’t been made and the companies
could still decide against a deal, the people said.

Representatives for Alphabet and Nokia declined to comment.
