Reuters reports Sunday that Google is considering bidding on airwaves to launch a nationwide wireless network.

Reuters also reports that Google would be bidding alone against nationwide powerhouses like AT&T and Verizon. They also said that bidding at airwaves alone would not rule out signing up partners at a later time. PC World reports that they'll probably have to.

"You have to wonder why a company would diversify into a market like that," said Jan Dawson, a vice president at market analyst Ovum Ltd.

CNet News reports that Google has already set up a wireless network within their own facilities to see what they could do with a nationwide wireless network.

Another oil spill in the Black Sea is causing environmental upheaval after a Russian oil tanker split in two on Sunday after a fierce storm. Twenty sailors are currently missing, according to Russian officials.

This oil spill, according to Forbes, is considered to be the worst disaster since a Liberian oil ship sank off the coast of Spain in 2002.

The New York Times is reporting that three bodies have washed up on shore, and the search has been called off due to severe weather conditions to find the twenty missing soldiers. Along with that, tens of thousands of oil-slicked birds "dotted the coastline" near where the ship sank.

The NY Times also said that the oil has affected marine life, killing many fish.

The Times Online reports that this spill could pollute the Black Sea for 15 years.
