Is Verizon gaming Google in the current Wireless auction, wonders The Register.
I'd be shocked if they weren't...and I be stunned if Google weren't gaming it either.
In the UK 3G auctions in 2000, which I was involved in, as far as I know all the bidders had dedicated auction gaming teams, using some pretty heavyweight mathematics and computing. The computers were steam-powered then too, so I'd assume if anything they were crunching bigger simulations / algorithms today.
