If Google wins, the spectrum will be tied up for a long time with little on no use right away.
I suspect most of Google's business plan here is "get spectrum, lease spectrum, earn lots of money with little actual work," and in that case it's in their best interest to get a leasing program up and running quickly. Kinda makes me wish I had a few billion sitting around; it's a good plan if you can finance it. In the meantime, Google has some of the smartest cookies on this planet working for them, so getting lease operations going should be trivial for them.
I'll concur that it'd be nice if there were some spectrum reserved for WISP use, but that apparently isn't meant to be. Google is probably the lesser evil in this case, given that our other choice is the telcos (we all know how fun they are to work with).
