A couple of interesting things here. Today while researching a little on Verizon's (VZ) near term plans for an I-Phone competitor, which is due in South Korea by the end of October. In case you didn't know South Korea is the most wired country in the world. People actually use the features of the phones for accomplishing everyday tasks and their is more bandwidth per person than anyone needs, but hey why not...
Now to the breaking news, in this research I discovered a little article discussing Google and Verizon's participation in the soon to be spectrum auctions. This is where the the spectrum where wireless technologies operate it get sold for proprietary use. It is interesting to note that Google is advocating the Verizon is breaking some FCC rules about disclosing its lobbying practices over how federal regulators will govern its sale and use. Know what is interesting about this is why does google care about the radio spectrum anyway, after all its an Internet company right?
If they are interested in taking "something" to the wireless realm that could bring long awaited ideas to reality that combine google's capabilities with wireless telecommunications devices. This would positionthem as the number one provider of get anything go anywhere wireless devices. This would allow users to lookup their myspace friends in relation to any search imaginable and add the 3-space enhancement of geolocation provide unlimited possibilities. Or imagine uploading realtime video to you tube, how would that change the face of the news, no video editing, real, raw and direct to the user. The ideas are endless and would poise Google for the next level, if their is such a thing, of market value.
One to keep watching, and why not look at BIDU, the number one search engine in China!!!
