Sloooow 700 MHz Auction Pace
The high bid on the national 700 MHz spectrum block stood at about $3.4 billion on Tuesday. Bidding is proceeding slowly and about all we know is that it will go higher until the minimum to compell an open network framework is reached. Google has pledged to bid at least that much and we have no reason to think it will not. Another billion and some odd to go until that point is reached, though.

General-purpose technologies do not come along very often, but when they do, they change life, economies and industries.
