The wireless advanced services auction (AWS) is coming to a close. As expected the top bidders are the wireless carriers; however, the combination of the cable companies and Sprint Nextel makes you wonder what the plans are. In this episode Dave Train explores this and other wireless issues, such as the potential for John Malone to retake his place as a major player in the network business. The other topic of the day is entertainment. What are the content providers trying to do? How are the equipment providers helping? This week Microsoft introduced Zune, Apple announced enhancements to the iPod. Where is it all going?
