The way Google decided to get into this industry is much like Boost Mobile or Virgin Mobile. They did not try to create their own cell network infrastructure but instead decided to piggy back off of a few major cell service providers. This method gave Project Fi the label of “Mobile Virtual Network Operator”. Originally, back in 2015, they only had a single phone that was compatible with the network and that was their very own Nexus 6.
