It’s been getting progressively obvious that Google plans on being an ever-larger player in the mobile industry. Now, the company has will be announcing their plans on bidding on mobile airwaves, to ensure their status as a mobile carrier.

Google Inc was set to announce on Friday it will bid on coveted airwaves to launch a U.S. wireless network, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The Silicon Valley-based company had said several months ago it was considering bidding in the auction of 700-megahertz wireless spectrum due to begin January 24. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission deadline for companies to declare their interest in joining the airwaves bidding is December 3.

It’s tough to say exactly what they’ll do, as the company tends to be very close-lipped about any of its’ plans. Suffice it to say, everyone in the mobile industry will be very interested in any moves by Google.
