Google sets sights on US airwaves
Google has announced it is in the running for a slice of the US airwaves that would allow it to launch a nationwide wireless internet network.
Part of the spectrum, called the C Block, is being sold by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in an auction starting at $4.6bn (£2.2bn).
