One week after the Android announce, Google has revealed its intentions to bid for a part of the wireless spectrum. If manages to accomplish the task, the internet giant will be able to have its own cellphone network.
The auction will be held in the U.S.A. the next January and will sell the wireless sprectrum now holded by the analog TV broadcasts (to freed up by 2009). Google have commited at least 4.6 billion dollars, without partners, to win the licence. A formal communication of intentions has to be made to the FCC before December the 3rd.
Google may be definitely heading to become a full-scale american mobile carrier due its wide alliance with cell-phone industry companies and the open source phone system presented last week.
Analysts have voiced doubts about it, but seems that Google is testing some advanced wireless network at its main headquarters in California.
