Re: More deatils on the bidders

Google won't be buying it. They will only bid up to 4.5 billion and then drop out (its expected to sell for up to 10 billion). They lobbied long ago to make this an open network no matter who wins, and the deal was as long as its 4.5 billion, then it will be open. Thats what they want, then they can get their software on the phones that are sold, or at least give the customer the choice. Back when this took place everyone thought 4.5 would be alot, the value has gone up dramatically. Google was pretty smart about it, and they won't have to spend billions developing themselves as a network carrier, they don't want to win it, they just want it open.
