AT&T undecided about bidding in auction

AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said the company has not yet decided if it will bid in the upcoming 700 MHz spectrum auction, because the open-access rules on part of the spectrum might preclude a viable business model for it. Stephenson called those rules "interesting," and said AT&T is currently tinkering with various business models to see if it should participate in the auction.

"Is there a business model there? I'm not sure if there is or not," Stephenson said.
