Today, Google said that if the FCC allows the 700 MHz auction to proceed with open access requirements, it will join in the bidding. Google submitted a formal letter to FCC Chairman Kevin Martin and implored that rules be put in place to ensure the auction benefits the general public. The four specific requests made by Google ask for open applications, open devices, open networks, and open services. AT&T voiced support for Martin's proposal yesterday. Google is prepared to spend at least $4.6 billion bidding in the auction.

Interesting

I wonder what they are planning on using it for if they happen to win it.
Google is trying to buy everything to create a free system of useful things, so i wouldnt doubt something free coming out of this for the general public.

I love google.

Wow!!

I know the 700 Mhz is targeted for Digital Cable broadcast. I'm curious to see what that will do and how it will affect At&t and Dish. What is TimeWarner and Cox going to do? So you look at it like this, At&t has Dish, Sprint has Time Warner and Cox, who does Google have? I don't even know if this frequency is going to carry mobile TV, but it sure will make the bidding interesting.
google is going to buy alltel

GPhone



Today Google announced plans of devolping free cellular service. Subscribers who sign up for the GPhone service will be able to use any unlocked phone or choose from a variety of phones offered by the Internet giant.

Services would be absolutely free and supported by non intrusive adds attached to the bottom of text and picture messages that the subscriber sends and receives. Google says that it plans to offer phone, messaging, GPS, video calling, and unlimited data at absolutely no cost to the subscriber.



Maybe on day this add will be on phonescoop. Pretty big stretch, but Google would be the company to do it!
I don't see them giving free phone service but free SMS maybe
