Amazon is reportedly considering offering mobile connectivity to its Prime subscribers in the US, according to a Bloomberg report.
The company has held negotiations with existing US carriers, including Verizon, T-Mobile, Dish, and AT&T, about using their networks to offer mobile connectivity.
Amazon spokesperson Bradley Mattinger denied that the company is actively planning to add wireless connectivity to Prime, and the plans could take months to launch and may be scrapped entirely.
The news comes as Prime subscriber growth is believed to have slowed following last year’s price rise, and Amazon is facing increased competition from the likes of Walmart Plus.
Google already offers a wireless network of its own called Google Fi.
