You are forgetting that Apple and Google are partners in many areas,
Eric even sits on Apple's Board of Directors so what Steve says, Eric
does.

Google simply doesn't have any experience in hardware, nor any sales
experience to go it alone, and while an mutual Apple/Google bid is
possible. Apple can easily outbid Google if needed.

As Todd mentioned the deadline for submitting bids is coming up soon.

Apple would probably use a shell company to protect the use until the
iPhone using this band is ready.

MacWorld is coming up very soon, only 58 days away! So we should know
something by that morning. (the Keynote is on the 15th)

Oxfart posts something here, and when questioned about its source, goes
to that forum and says "but look, it's published elsewhere"--when in
reality that "forum" simply reposts whatever anyone posts to the Usenet.

they are not talking about that elmo. what i posted came from yahoo's
message board, not usenet. learn to read.

The rf spectrum is part of our infrastructure. It should not be taxed by
selling it to the highest bidder. The current process ensures that any use
will be expensive enough to repay the auction price.

Infrastructure needs to be subsidized.

talk about clueless Kevin, you win the award for the above comment.

what you pulled up was just a mirror of usenet in a phpBB format.

the post didn't originate with me, you were just too clueless to
understand that.

the mildly smarter DTC found the correct info, just as I had said.



the joke is on you Kevin!
