    • Google Confirms Intent To Bid for 700MHz Spectrum

      Posted by Jeff

      'We believe it's important to put our money where our principles are,' Eric Schmidt, Google's chairman and CEO, said in a statement. 'Consumers deserve more competition and innovation than they have in today's wireless world. No matter which bidder ultimately prevails, the real winners of this auction are American consumers who likely will see more choices than ever before in how they access the Internet.'"

    • 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.

      Will Success, or That Google Money, Spoil Firefox?

      Posted by Jeff from New York Times

      In trying to build on this success, the Mozilla Foundation has come to resemble an investor-backed Silicon Valley start-up more than a scrappy collaborative underdog. Siobhan O’Mahony, an assistant professor at the School of Management of the University of California, Davis, calls Mozilla “the first corporate open-source project.”

    This seems fairly limited and lame to me. Facebook is still way ahead.

    Google's Shareholders Vote to Continue Censorship in China

    yeah…I agree the we may seem a bit much. But, then, I don’t see too many people up in arms over it either…therefore, "we" isn’t too far off.

    “So much attention is paid to the aggressive sins, such as violence and cruelty and greed with all their tragic effects, that too little attention is paid to the passive sins, such as apathy and laziness, which in the long run can have a more devastating effect.

    I’d be careful about using "we", it implies a collective thumbs up, which I doubt Google’s execs would respect unless you own stock with them.  While China’s government is questionable, so is this one.  Especially since "we" owe them billions.  They are paying for Pax Americana in Iraq and te Afghanistanian theatre after all.

    They’re , eventually, going to steal the technology and make their own google. We screw ourselves and their people by doing business with their government.

    If Google were to tie commercial opportunity to openess, China would go after the money on its own. That is, if they are paid to be more relaxed, they will be. If they can keep things closed and not loose too much money, they will keep things closed.

    Its actually the advertisers and marketers that use Google that have the most power to influence policies.  Follow the money. Its the only thing that votes in China.
