Tick tock tick tock tick tock....

So goes the digitally-emulated sound of a mechanical clock ticking down on the 700 MHz spectrum. Snip:

The bidding begins on January 24th with a minimum of $4.6 billion required for the open-access C Block. Wake the kids, phone the neighbors, it's going to get ugly fast.

Google has officially stated its intentions to bid on that particular block. Them airwaves are about to become a wee bit crowded.

Gee, is it too late to bring TV and film production back to hard-wired mics?

(cue crickets)

Sigh...
