APPLE ON THE AIR?
Tuesday, September 11 2007

Apple is considering joining the bidding for the wireless spectrum being abandoned by television broadcasters in 2009, using it to deliver movies, television programs, music and other entertainment to handheld devices like its iPhone and iPod products, BusinessWeek reported Monday, citing two unnamed sources. Signals in the TV spectrum, it observed, could provide faster download speeds than ordinary Wi-Fi and free Apple from having to rely on its partnership with AT&T to provide wireless services to users of its devices, the magazine observed. A former Apple executive told BusinessWeek: "Apple is the most anti-carrier company there is. ... They're probably already frustrated with AT&T. If they put a few billion behind this, they could build a kick-ass network."
