Looks like someone’s not planning on living up to their end of a bargain. If you ask Google about Verizon’s plan for the 700MHz spectrum, they’ll tell you that Big V doesn’t want to do the Any App, Any Device in the manner they’d have you believe. Instead of allowing any company to […]
Remember that little auction from January? Yeah, the one where 200+ companies were bidding on some airwaves. That’s right, the 700MHz auction.
