  • Google is still a player in FCC's 700Mhz spectrum auction

    It looks like Google is still gunning for a piece of that sought-after piece of the 700Mhz spectrum. Even though the FCC didn’t approve Google’s entire wholesale access spectrum proposal , CNN is reporting that the search giant is still “very interested” in bidding in the upcoming spectrum auction. Chris Sacca, head of special initiatives at Google, said that “[they] are still very interested in the auction.” Apparently, the FCC’s approval of open-access rules for the auction are enough to keep Google’s interest piqued. We may just see Google entering the wireless game as a carrier, not just a backend player. It’d be great to see “Google” instead of “AT&T” on our phones - especially if it’s on a Google Phone .
