Google has 13.6 billion in reserves. If they wanted the 700Mhz band they'd have it now. It sold for 9.6 billion. Google doesn't want to be in the carrier/provider business. I think we all can agree they are pretty successful in their current business model. Google and the other members of the Open Handset Alliance lobbied the FCC heavily that 4 requirements be placed on the bandwidth: open applications, open devices, open services, and open networks. FCC adopted 2 of them IF it sold for over 4.6 billion. Are you guys for real? Google has 13.6 billion in reserves. If they wanted the 700Mhz band they’d have it now. It sold for 9.6 billion.
