they are not going to win the bidding. in my opinion they have accomplished what they set out to do- by agreeing to place a bid, which insured the minimum 4.5 billion was going to be met, they pushed for the govt to make their new open platform a standard. this being opened up takes away the telcos lock on their systems and devices. it prevents a microsoft type monoploy from even getting started on mobile devices. creating their platform will obviously give them the inside track on collecting from their yet to be released or even created mobile services. this also takes away the telcos ability of controlling their customers online experience and collecting all of the revenue for them alone.
they used their clout to force a fundamental change. pretty impressive
they arent going to become a telco and continue to invest in actually building a network
i love what they are doing- very very interesting stuff with a new approach
and as you have mentioned before using technology to change how the world does things on a day to day.
