FCC's full list of 700MHz auction applicants
We're sure you've heard most of the notables by now -- such as Google (applying as Google Airwaves Inc.), Verizon, Qualcomm, Cox, Frontline, AT&T, EchoStar and Paul Allen -- but there are a total of 1,099 various licenses available for the 62 megahertz up for grabs, and a whole lot of regional carriers are in the mix. FCC finally has a full list for your perusal, and the final tally reached 266, though a fair number of those might not make it to the actual auction. Apparently two thirds of applications were deemed "incomplete," meaning they have until January 4th to revise their application and put in their upfront payment. Notables on the list of incompletes include AT&T, Cox and Qualcomm. The full list of applicants is after the break.

Jonathan Bergeron @ Dec 19th 2007 2:45PM
That's an awesome picture
greg @ Dec 19th 2007 8:06PM
wow, imagine if it really was an ebay auction. Think of how big that commission would be!
Adrian Williams @ Dec 19th 2007 10:03PM
Att owns a lil chunk of it already
Tomek! @ Dec 19th 2007 2:55PM
I Went to Ebay, typed in 700MHz, found nothing, typed in Wireless, found nothing, came back, read comments, and would now like permission to pull my foot out of my mouth.
Hilarious Graphic.
Aman @ Dec 19th 2007 3:17PM
HaHa Good Job
Paul @ Dec 19th 2007 3:28PM
If you look at their picture you can see they forgot to shop out: "47946 items found for: wireless"
Homeboy @ Dec 19th 2007 3:38PM
That makes it two of us. I typed in the 700mhz wireless in ebay too. I was ready to make a bid using all the money I'm offered by Nigerians that I mailing me.
JJV @ Dec 19th 2007 3:50PM
LOL, i did exactly the same thing. So that makes a third
i was getting frustrated after a while thinking how did they find that?
i kept trying and making everything exactly the same as it was in that picture, but no luck.
So i would also like to ask for permission to pull my foot out of my mouth!!
JJV @ Dec 19th 2007 3:57PM
oh yeah, and thanks engadgeteers for the helpful insight into the photo. I would have spent hours looking at every page on ebay, if it wasn't for you guys!
Reader @ Dec 19th 2007 6:06PM
I didn't look, but I was curious if people would try to do this as a scam. Too bad, maybe I'll sell some 700mhz to be the first.
Kurtis @ Dec 19th 2007 2:56PM
Firebug and print screen.
blade417 @ Dec 19th 2007 2:56PM
Pictures like that are why I love this site.
Excellent job engadget!
TheCow5 @ Dec 19th 2007 3:05PM
wow thats a big list and the minimum starting bid is $4.6 billion.
Is the upfront payment refundable.
Microsoft and Apple are not in the list, I wonder if they will be in at all.
ytrilynth @ Dec 20th 2007 8:15PM
Paul Allen of Microsoft is bidding under Vulcan capital (one of his numerous investment companies).
blackeagle @ Dec 19th 2007 3:12PM
love the image... nice job guys
GoPadge @ Dec 19th 2007 3:17PM
Verizon, Qualcomm and Cox are also on the list in incomplete apps, and I couldn't find Echostar or DishNetwork on either list.
vrn @ Dec 19th 2007 6:19PM
I think actually Verizon's official corporate name is "Wireless Communications Venture", so that would be one of the ones on the accepted list. Interesting AT&T didn't get in on it, though.
Brian @ Dec 19th 2007 3:30PM
Hey anybody know what the buy it now price is?
Jacob @ Dec 19th 2007 3:30PM
A+++++++ would lol again
aaron @ Dec 19th 2007 3:49PM
now that was just plain funny
blade417 @ Dec 19th 2007 3:40PM
Hi Google! (Not you? Sign in)
computer.dude.28 @ Dec 19th 2007 7:12PM
now, how many people just scrolled up to check the picture..? ;)
Randy @ Dec 19th 2007 3:58PM
Love the pic guys! The funny thing is that they list the Spectrum as new when the spectrum is not new and it has been in use by several UHF channels for a number years.
I wonder what the buy it now price would be....
Josh Warner @ Dec 19th 2007 4:11PM
The buy it now price would be
[INTEGER OVERFLOW]
IndiaTech @ Dec 19th 2007 5:21PM
They rejected my application yesterday. They said I don't have 50 positive feedback on eBay. I emailed them back saying I have 49 positive feedback and on top of it I even have a PayPal verified shipping address. But they still denied me.
Now I plan to sell my Wii on eBay before Jan 4th so that I can reapply. You know this 700MHz thing is central to my World Conquest plans.
BTW, anyone interested in 3 month old Wii. I just ship to the lower 48 states.
futurepastnow @ Dec 19th 2007 6:37PM
The real question is, is Google in it to win it, or just to say they did?
Jon Doe @ Dec 19th 2007 7:47PM
Google may be in it to make sure that the minimum price to allow at least partial open access. Supposedly if X amount (I don't know what it is....isn't met the action gets what amounts to a do over and the next time around open access rules are thrown out....Google may be dropping the exact amount to insure open access rules stay in place.
West Hubbard @ Dec 19th 2007 7:40PM
I love all the applicants that aren't serious!
Yeah, Joel Jensens going to buy a piece in the 700mhz sprectrum...sure..
Clayton Schinbein @ Dec 19th 2007 8:00PM
lol i also went to ebay to check it out... oh my :(
E71 @ Dec 20th 2007 8:13AM
