I would like to see an Apple/Google/Yahoo/eBay consortium controlling it.]]>Sep 10th 2007 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/Sep 10th 2007 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/Sep 10th 2007 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/Sep 10th 2007 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/
Now, the open block will likely be cheaper, due to the use limitations, so GOOG may have incentive to bid there, but AAPL at least, and maybe MS, will be looking for spectrum that they have a little more control over, so the liklihood that they will be bidding for the same 700mhz blocks is fairly low.

Couple of things to remember - NO ONE COMPANY is going to be buying all of the 700mhz spectrum. ONLY ONE of the many 700mhz blocks is encumbered by any open access restrictions, and should that fail to sell, those restrictions will be removed.]]>Sep 10th 2007 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/
Unfortunately, anybody who enters this arena will have at least a couple of years before we get to see any projects that take advantage of it. And when you think about that it makes sense that Apple's contract with AT&T should be on it's death bed.]]>Sep 10th 2007 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/Sep 10th 2007 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/Sep 10th 2007 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/Sep 10th 2007 9:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/Sep 10th 2007 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/apple-mulling-700mhz-spectrum-bid/Sep 11th 2007 4:40AM
