Google One rolling out to US users

Google is rolling out its Google One service to users in the United States, with more countries coming soon.

The Google One subscription programme offers increased Drive storage in addition to a number of other features, including live support and special deals in the Google Store.

I just want Google to offer the proper Google News app in SA. We have no paid content at all, so can't access subscriptions, Subscribe with Google special prices for news sites, a vastly superior news feed with paid content, content I should have access to but don't (like the WIRED print edition, only accessible via Google News's Newsstand on Android) etc. Such bulls**t.

Would also be nice if they'd roll out Youtube Music here. And this 2TB storage bump. Not much love from Google for most countries outside the US.

My Google Assistant has started pushing news stories in my notification feed, so might be coming here. The new 200GB option is quite nice as well. I'm still on the 2 year 100GB promotion though, only using 30GB due to the photo compression thing not counting (use adobe's cloud for all the images where editing must take place, that one is getting quite full (85/100GB) :erm.

I don't think anything can be inferred from the Assistant news functionality. It just pushes the same free content available in Google News and Chrome's news feed.

I really, really want the unlocked app though. Subs to The Economist are $10pm and most major sites like WaPo, NY Times etc are half price at $5pm. And it links to the main sites where you get regular subscriber status.
