Re: IF Google bids & IF they win; it will be 5 yrs before starts

Google stock is not an issue.
It is an issue to their shareholders and it will be an issue in the deliberations of management when they have to decide to bid and how hard they try to win that bid. Google is now a PUBLIC company and that has changed and will continue to change the way they do business. The current Google isn't the same risk taking company it was before their IPO.

My guess is that for PR reasons they will announce they will bid, but because it will hurt their bottom line and their stock price, they will not try very hard to win the bidding process.

Several people familiar with the matter said that the company believes that it would lose goodwill in Washington, if it didn't bid, given that it won changes to the auction rules that will force the winner of one block of spectrum to open its network to any mobile device or software application.

like i said, GOOG is a industry revolutionizer. sure, stockholders will be concerned, but not like incumbent stock holders.

they will bid and win. they know the changes to the auction rules are b.s. and full of loopholes.
