Remember when Google was buying up dark fiber? It scared everyone. Now Google is going to bid on spectrum IF a bunch of conditions are met. Those conditions will NOT be met. (Have you forgotten who chairs the FCC?) So it is probably just a ploy. And if they DO win some spectrum, the rules will

They wouldn't sell me a phone until I gave them a service address. As I understand it, if they can't determine a location from the regular cell tower triangulation, they use that address. Personally, I don't care all that much. I lived for thirty years before the 911 system was available.

GPS co-ordinates, your personal address, triangulation of cell towers to pin point your locaton. None of that satisfies e911, like the e911 that we are required to do provide to become a voip carrier and provide voip service. I say, if they can do this, there is a double standard and we're

Yeah right. Google is gonna come up with 4.6 BILLION and THEN tell the FCC that they should have to force them to have a wholesale program? If they were THAT committed why not just buy the spectrum and offer the program anyway. Am I the ONLY cynic left in this group? grin marlon -

My understanding of the rules is that they would not have to allow any specific level of service for free. Only make the protocol, channel spacing/width, etc, open and free. Ok so everyone gets dialup for free, with ads (Think NetZero here). Then, anyone that wants a faster service pays. They
