So it turns out that AT&T and Verizon are the winners of the recent FCC airwave auction. And event tought Google lost out, aren't they really the biggest winners here?
When this first started and Google announced their intention to bid, I remember everybody trying to second guess Google's intentions. Most of what I had heard ran along the lines of this being the opening salvo of a full fledged Google phone network.
But is that really the Google way? My personal feeling was that Google was always more interested in the open access provision of the auction above all else. As it stands now, Google can continue to work on Android, it's phone OS, and with this new open space, more companies can make more phones... and in Google's mind, hopefully more of them will be running Android.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
