Google Ready to Bid on 700 MHz

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the protecting-your-interests dept.

Seppanen Style writes "The 700MHz spectrum auction looks like it's going to be heated. Google CEO Eric Schmidt has all but confirmed that Google will make a play for the spectrum that will be on offer next January. 'In effect, this could give Google control of the entire pipe between customers and Google servers, a move that could be very good for business strategy, even if the wireless network is not a major profit center. Companies never like to be at the mercy of other companies, and Google is no exception.'"

    I have one in my closet they can have. I'll even throw an extra 128MB of SDRAM!

    I think the 2.4GHz spectrum is where all the heat is.
