Why did Google making this move?

Google’s Motivation to bid into the wireless marketplace through the use of the 700MHz Spectrum Auction was the opportunity to develop possibly a 50 state network “The FCC is auctioning 1,099 wireless licenses in the 700 MHz band, but the most attractive spectrum for many bidders is the “C-block” of 12 regional licenses that may be combined to create a 50-state network.” (Reiter, 2008) This new product development would allow Google to become a cellular network operator. This market includes firms such as AT&T and Verizon, Google would not only compete with these firms but also would have had the opportunity to network with other entities to develop some innovative new products.
What do they hope to accomplish?
The prospect of entering into the wireless market offers Google many potential growth

and development practices as well as competencies. There are also many risks associated with this strategy, including the cost of building and maintaining a billion dollar network. One particular goal that may have been in mind with this decision is the growth of Google’s vast wireless software portfolio that includes Gmail, Maps, Docs, Calendar Sync and various other applications that can be downloaded to many phones. There may have been other reasons Google chose to take interest into the wireless market such as the ownership of Youtube and its developments in a new website and java beta application that allows people to view tens of millions of videos via cell phone.

2. How does Google’s support for Open Access fit into Google’s plans?
Google supporting Open Access really makes this a popular decision. Many people are rooting for Google to bid on the 700MHz spectrum for reasons that it will allow for competitive pricing of many cellular internet features. Furthermore research shows

    10/4/2014Why have Personal Navigation Devices become popular? What technologies are required to facilitate the success of PNDs? PND’s have become very popular in both handheld and vehicle models. These personal devices allow the users to not only determine where they need to go but also where they are and most have a memory which allows the user to save locations to their favorites. If they are connected to the internet they can be updated regularly with new locations to search for within their memory like restaurant’s, gas stations, and various other stores and community locations. PND’s work using GPS navigation satellites to gain their respective GSP coordinates. With these coordinates the internal system can place them on the map that have been installed within the PND and shows the user where they are in relation to other locations and can even give the best path from point A to point B. CITATION htt27 \l 1033 (htt27)Who are some of the leaders in PNDs? What are the likely factors that will contribute to winning in this marketplace? Among the top PND’s are Garmin, Tom Tom, Magellan, and Motorola. The PND that I have had personal experience with would be the Garmin. Garmin produces rugged hand held models that are perfect for camping, hunting and hiking. They normally come equipped with forest roads and other off the beaten track maps that the vehicle models do not contain. To win in this market the PND manufacturers need to be able to give simple but robust features along with a reasonable price structure that will enable the average user to be able to afford them.

    In week one of this class, I was tasked to design a flowchart for a process in my daily life that I can improve. I chose my morning routine before work. My goal is to get out of the house by 7:38am Monday-Friday in order to catch my bus for work at 7:41am. I have trouble keeping track of time, usually missing the bus about one time every two weeks. I have discovered through the flowchart in week one, that my entire process has serious flaws. All of the bottlenecks were identified and improved upon as necessary. After collecting data over the past four weeks, I see changes in the process, using time as the metric. This paper will display the data that has been collected, as well as the calculations for the control limits, discuss the effect of the seasonal factors, and discuss the confidence intervals and their usefulness.…

    In traditional search, Microsoft’s Bing search engine and Facebook, which passed Google as the most popular website in the world, pose threats as people desire more personalized and social media-related search information. Searches for local information, such as restaurant reviews or directions, are 20 percent of all Google searches and half of all mobile or smartphone searches. Yet, local-related search advertising is a weakness for Google, but a strength for Groupon, Facebook Places, Living Social, Foursquare, and Bing. Although Google’s Android smartphones have more market share than Apple’s iPhone, the Android software is open source, so Google makes no money except for built-in Google Ads and services. Likewise, Google trails Apple and Amazon in the number of publishers who use their software, devices (i.e., smartphones, tablets, book readers), and online stores to sell electronic versions of newspapers, magazines, books, music, TV shows, and movies. Finally, Google’s Chrome web browser (13% market share) competes with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (55%), Mozilla’s Firefox (22%), and Apple’s Safari (7%).…
