Cupertino (CA) – Apple is thinking about entering the FCC wireless auction fray, according to an article by BusinessWeek. The article says the iPhone maker could plunk as much as $9 billion dollars into buying space on the 700 MHz band.

Two unnamed sources talked to BusinessWeek that Apple was interested in the spectrum, but also added that the company was “leaning against” the purchase. BusinessWeek believes Apple wants to build an iPhone exclusive network which would cut the company’s ties to AT&T.
