@Venkatesh-

Amen. They need to present entry into the operator market as a credible threat to make things happen, but they won't if they don't absolutely have to (would drag them down in a big way).

Google's perfect solution would be for all operators to offer open-platform devices, so they could run all their apps on them. They will try every option to get them there - partner with Clearwire/Sprint over WiMax, bid with Verizon on 700MHz, subsidize T-Mobile rollout of femtocells, etc.

In any case, this will be fun to watch.

Latest update: Google may launch gphone … Google may buy 700 MHZ spectrum … Google’s Opensocial may lead to something that is maybe called MakaMaka … Why so many google rumors? will somebody tell me?

I think Google is serious about bidding for spectrum in this winter’s auctions, especially the “C” block that requires open handsets. Once they win the spectrum they will likely partner with an established wireless carrier to operate the network.

Why the harsh words for the WSJ reporters? Seems to me like they are just doing what any good reporter would do, as in working the story to see what shakes loose. I for one am heartened to see the MSM get more into the weeds on telecom issues, because the more reporting and openness the better for all concerned.

As analysts like Blair Levin and crew at Stifel, Nicolaus have noted, Google gains great leverage in the upcoming auction by dropping hints but keeping its cards close to the vest. Come Dec. 3 some of the hands will have to be played, but remember this is a long process that could even change more if the Democrats win the Presidency in 2008 (and thereby control of the FCC).

@P: That's exactly my observation. Last couple of weeks has seen the exact same content, hashed, rehashed and rehashed yet again to be printed. I just totally lost interest and honestly think Amol Sharma and the other authors have some vested interests in drumming up the news! Are they freakin' out of their mind?

Journalism, due to folks like these, gets a bad name.
