Google was the front runner for the 700 MHz bid.

You can click on the links on the right side of panel but it's still going on... If I had to venture a guess for the big block VzW is so far the winning bidder.

The class C block which had the addendum forcing the winning bidder to open a public service channel or whatever I think is a dead stick.

On day 24 of the auction (today), the promised amount for everything all together is up to $19,540,807,900.

Regretfully, they'll release nothing about frontrunners or any other bidding information until the auction is over. According to the FCC, this is to keep bidders "honest".
