Google Plans on Providing Wireless by Barbora Kasparova

The Google Inc. is planning to broaden its services working towards building a wireless network on its own. The FCC (Federal Communication Commission in the USA) is giving out a spectrum in January 2008 in an auction and Google representatives have reported they have set aside financial resources to join in and place their bid. Some specialists are being skeptical about Google's financial situation, others expressed curiosity why would an online advertising giant want to diversify into such area of business. One of the reasons may be the fact, that this step would create an opportunity for promoting Google application, along with Google entering mobile phone market with Android. The issue of whether Google should not join together with a partner is rising further questions of who should (or will) that be. As reported by the magazine PC world, some analysts suggest it could choose Sprint (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,139762-c,google/article.html). Others believe this could be a chance for an operator that has not yet found its way to the U.S. market. One way or another, the auction will be held on January 3rd 2008 and that is when we find out, whether AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless should expect a competition in the market. It would be good news for customers, as the experience has proven, the more competition, the better the service and the lower the prices.
