Cash Rich Apple to Join Google in 700 MHz auction

[DCBass]

I'm getting all feklempt after watching Charlie Brown's Christmas Special for the third time this weekend... that poor bald-headed boy has so much courage at the end! </sniff>..

Talk amongst yourselves, here's a topic...

As mighty as Google is, they will have a hard time ponying up the same kind of cash that ATT and Verizon have in the auction this January... Could the $15 billion laden Apple join Google to make a joint bid?

I'll go get some cawfee...

Why would Apple need it?

Why would Apple need it?

Why would they....are you really asking that?

I could see them signing up as a service on the google network, but I seriously doubt they are going to pony up the cash to bid on the spectrum. They can barely get the projects they have out the door, let alone bring on new stuff.

Besides, Android is going to be a direct competitor to the iPhone software. I'm sure that's why Apple has been very reluctant to hop into bed with Google all this time.
