- Google Has Even Bigger Plans for Mobile Phones
  Posted by Jeff from Wall Street Journal
  The company is gearing up to make a serious run at buying wireless spectrum, a chunk of the airwaves that can be used to provide mobile phone and Internet services, in a Federal Communications Commission auction in January. Google is prepared to bid on its own without any partners, say people familiar with the matter. It is working out a plan to finance its bid, which could run $4.6 billion or higher, that would rely on its own cash and possibly some borrowed money.

- FCC Media Consolidation Hearing in Seattle
  Posted by Jeff from Crosscut
  The big, surprise, seven-hour public hearing about media ownership, announced suddenly just a week ago by the Federal Communications Commission, is this evening in Seattle at Town Hall. You didn't have any plans tonight, right? Actually, turnout is going to be huge, because ticked off activists have been mobilizing. Could be the best party in town.

- Don Imus: Shock Jock Fired For Shocking
  Posted by Orato
  This week, America has been assaulted by endless news coverage about the racist comments spoken by Don Imus about the Rutgers University Women's Basketball Team. Al Sharpton, Spike Lee and Whoopi Goldberg are just a few of the big names that networks have brought on air to discuss this in depth. Unfortunately, with this debate, there is only one side to take. Arguing context or Don Imus' work in the community or striving to see a larger picture is futile. The people are pissed.

- » Skype on cellphones? Skype, Verizon lobbyists square off
  Posted by rhoehn from ZDNet
  The issue at hand here is Skype's "Carterphone petition" to the FCC. If granted, that would mandate that most cellphones and other handsets be made available to third-party applications, such as (well, duh) Skype.

  Posted by rhoehn
