Dish TV Network sets its sights on mobile with a $25 billion bid. It's no surprise that Google is expanding, and one place where they are growing fast is New York City.

The Dish TV Network  is making a big bid to get into the mobile space. It wants to buy the country’s third largest cellphone carrier Sprint-Nextel for more than $25 billion.

It’s no surprise that Google is expanding, and one place where they are growing fast is New York City. The company’s offices, which are located in the downtown Meat Packing neighborhood, feel part warehouse, part office building, and part elementary school. Chief Information Officer Ben Fried takes us on a tour of Google’s East Coast headquarters and discusses how its culture differs from Silicon Valley.
