Comcast and Time Warner Out of 700MHz Auction: So Who’s In?

11:40AM December 4, 2007 | Matt Buchanan

gphoneauct.jpgComcast and Time Warner have just declared their total disinterest in the upcoming 700MHz auction. Not that they mattered anyway – the real behind-closed-doors fireworks looked to be between Google and Verizon, who’ve been publicly sparring over the auction rules for a while. But Google’s limp coming out statement – essentially “whoever wins” – and Verizon’s throwing open its network – req’d for the winner of the 700MHz’s contentious C Block, indicating a hard throwdown intention-wise – point to the fact we might see nothing red and endless “It’s the Network” catchphrases coming out of it.
