This is something that was mentioned in the wsj article as well:
>As you would expect, Google is not ready to become a cellular provider just yet. Even if the company succeeds at the 700MHz spectrum auction, it will be a long time before it can compete with the likes of Verizon or AT&T as a carrier. Infrastructure can't be built overnight.
Here's a theory: if google wins the 700MHz auction, they just buy one of the carriers for their infrastructure. Is this feasible?
