No mention of family plan or data sharing. If I have 3 lines that use 10gb between them, will this still be cheaper?

This is insane. I can't think of an industry that google is not trying to compete in. Auto industry, space industry, internet of things industry (Nest), internet/media industry, cable/internet provider industry, automobile industry, robotics industry, software industry, smartphone industry, pc industry now the telecom industry.
