google certainly would know who they're bidding with! (and they say they're
bidding without partners)

there's no need to make anything up, as GOOGLE says they're bidding w/out
partners.

> you need to keep in mind Google and Apple are partners,

in some things maybe, but google says they're not bidding w/ any partners.

Announced, then unavailable for six months.

Available and unavailable. Big difference.

And you just showed that you know nothing about spectrum bidding- we'll add
it to the long list of things you are clueless about. What you are
suggesting is bidder collusion and is against the law. Market share has
nothing to do with it, moron.

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.
