I am definitely going to keep my eye out for this one. Competition is always a good thing if it brings positive changes into play.

In other words, 700 is great for non-line of sight. It's a whole different animal than the current crop of CDMA and GSM from the POV of cell site engineering - you can use fewer towers, and have fewer difficulties for a given level of service quality. Regarding the build out - the capital always comes from somewhere - even companies like ATT and Sprint often use debt instruments to build out networks. And for a moment pulling aside the veil of the future, I think that the kind of services that Google might make available will be sufficiently different than the incumbents, so that network infrastructure partnerships might work. And, there are plenty of RF engineering firms that will put up cell sites for anyone with folding money. Big fun WiMAX VOIP data unified services.

Microsoft just want to control everything and make a bit of money. This would allow them to do it. Microsoft has the cash on hand to buy the entire spectrum. Now imagine Microsoft with its own wireless spectrum, its iphone clone, its amazon kindle clone, wireless xbox, with live search ads. Microsoft, will allow all hardware vendor to make hardware for there windows platform and it will be wireless. No Google, No Yahoo to compete with.

Their campaign has had the effect of getting Verizon to open up, and the other will follow. They can't withdraw from the race after all the noise they.made, bu they can bid to lose, and then take advantage of the new scenario Verizon facilitated this with their timing, not to have google as a competitor why spend billions to buy spectrum, when you can piggyback on everyone else's?

Perhaps this mutually beneficial relationship between the two is based on the potential positive effect these proactive leaks might have on Google's stock. WSJ being a subscription based site - then gets tons of publicity and links from being the sole outlet for these leaks. WSJ seems to virtually always get the first leak on any major Google matter.
