Is Steve Jobs really planning to bid on 700 MHz spectrum?

Or is he just postioning to cut an even sweeter deal with AT&T or another wireless carrier? There’s a “credible rumor” making the rounds (AP article) that Apple is exploring bidding on spectrum. I really do not see how this would benefit them. Their current arrangement with AT&T gives them a big chunk of every monthly Iphone service bill, and Jobs gets to blame the AT&T “evil deathstar” for all of the woes suffered by Iphone users (many of these woes DESIGNED IN BY APPLE). Sounds like a good bluff to me. We’ll be watching to see if Mr Jobs really shows up at the 700 MHz circus to walk the high wire.
