Google Ready to Bid on 700 MHz

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.'"

If Google wants to "do no evil" why don't they fund the removal of GWB

Most of their shareholders support GWB, and his policies benefit the Filthy Wealthy such as Brin and Page. Why would they fund his removal? It's an interesting commentary on the "good" and "evil" thing to consider who, Google (Brin and Page) or Microsoft (Gates et all) have given the most to organizations that benifit the public good? Hmmm...
