Paul Allen and Vulcan Inc. bidding on 700MHz spectrum
Paul Allen has purchased a lot of things since leaving Microsoft…several sports teams, stadiums, and a large chunk of downtown Seattle are but a few of the software pioneer’s acquisitions. We’re nonetheless a bit shocked to catch wind of the billionaire’s most recent target. It seems that Mr. Allen will be making a bid for the 700MHz wireless spectrum. His company, Vulcan Inc., has applied to bid on the spectrum beginning in January. The 700MHz auction is shaping up to be quite the race, with companies including Google, AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, and Qualcomm all throwing theirs hats into the ring. It’s not clear exactly what Allen or Vulcan Inc intend to do with the spectrum if they do, in fact, win the auction.
Hmmmm….
I’m a little confused about this auction. Will it only have one winner for the entire 700Mhz spectrum? It cannot be divided up amongs a few of the bidders?
The auction isn’t an all or nothing proposition, locations will be bid upon so the 700mhz spectrum in New York City would possibly be alot more expensive thatn 700 Mhz spectrum auctioned in Montana
He’s going to make the worlds BIGGEST LASER!!
this could end up being pretty cool, so this spectrum currently holds the TV stations stuff so sometime maybe we can put up an antenna and get the internet rather than crappy tv? but how would that work does it degrade very much as you get to a couple miles from the tower?
I want more info on the 700 spectrum..hmm i guess google can help me.
Reader discussion time!!! What DOES he plan to do with the 700MHz spectrum? My thoughts, a beam to read peoples minds and find out who the real batman is, all profits will be used to buy green question mark underpants.
