It only works specifically with the Nexus 6 (not other Google phones), apparently for technical reasons involving network-switching capabilities. Possibly that's BS, but assuming it's legit I'd imagine they'll try to get the technology into other makers' phones in the future.
Though even if they didn't, Google doesn't have a monopoly position in phone hardware so it's not clear antitrust would come into play.

- Aloha 12y agoThats a choice though, the Sprint iPhone also supports GSM/CDMA (as does the verizon one, and the unlocked one too)
