Google’s very much interested in the US wireless spectrum auction, and given the company’s tendency to spread things overseas, it wouldn’t be too surprising if a similar fascination had taken hold in the UK. But according to a Google executive, it hasn’t.
Tomorrow, the FCC will vote on rules, proposed by Chairman Kevin Martin, governing the auction of the 700 MHz band of wireless spectrum. Trying its best to persuade the commission to endorse neutrality in the airwaves, similar to what many want to happen with the Internet, Google succeeded in getting at least two of its four wishes granted.
As predictable as daylight, AT&T isn't happy about Google's plan to bid on the 700MHz wireless spectrum. The telecommunications giant is poised to claw any competition out of the equation, and is hoping its traditional ally, the FCC, will have its back again.
Google announced this morning its intention to bid in the upcoming 700 MHz wireless spectrum auction, which is being touted as one of the most important communications auctions in American history. The company said it's willing to bid a minimum of $4.6 billion.
