Google to bid for U.S. mobile airwaves
By
Google Inc said on Friday that the Internet leader would bid on coveted airwaves to launch a U.S. wireless network, putting it in competition with traditional telecommunications players AT&T and Verizon.
Google said in a statement that it was ready to go it alone rather than rely on partners in bidding in the Federal Communications Commission-run auction of 700-megahertz wireless spectrum due to begin on January 24. The company said it would make its official filing ahead of the FCC deadline on Monday for companies to declare their interest in joining the airwaves bidding.
