In January a massive battle is expected to take place between some of the biggest media and phone companies in the world, it’s all over something called a spectrum, I don’t really know what this thing is, but its believed these companies are prepared to pay up to 15 billion dollars for it, so it must be pretty important. The bidding is going to be fierce and most probably one company alone won’t have a chance to win, so many of the 266 bidders are teaming up behind closed doors to give themselves a advantage from competitors, some of the companies said to be involved are Google, Time Warner Cable, AT&T, Verizon, AT&T, Leap Wireless International, Sprint Nextel, Comcast, Echostar Communications, DirecTV Group, Verizon Communications, Vodafone Group, Rural Cellular and Deutsche Telekom. The auction is to take place on Jan. 24.
