how would anyone know? SJ doesn't pre-announce anything, so the press
can only make up theories, we'll only know for sure when / if Apple or
Google bids on the spectrum.
you need to keep in mind Google and Apple are partners, so it's not a
case of Apple against Google... it's a case of how Google will set
things up for Apple if Google decides to bid, and visa-versa.
i realize you don't keep up with these tactical corporate events News,
but please learn a bit more about the situation before you post again.

He pre-announces everything. Pre-market hype is what Apple is all about.
Hype the hell out of a product before the consumer gets it in their hands
and realizes what a piece of crap it is- that's the Apple way.

Google is bidding, Apple won't. Bank on it.

Google has stated that their bid is being done without the intent to have a
partner in the venture.

neither Apple nor Google hold a majority of the cell market at this time
so the SEC, DOJ, FCC don't have any say in the matter.
you are talking if AT&T and Verizon did a tandem bid, not Apple & Google.
please learn about business before you post again.

Please learn the definition of "collusion", in respect of FCC spectrum
bids by publicly traded companies, then post back.

Pray tell, what is the difference?
I mean, I agree with you. But the general unwashed masses take
"pre-announced" to mean "announced prior to its availability".
Steve Jobs announces products far, far before their availability so as
to drum up excitement among those same unwashed masses.
What do YOU mean by "it wasn't pre-announced, it was merely announced"?
You will ignore this, because you are now out of options.
As is typical - Oxford is WRONG
