REPORT CONCLUSION FOLLOWS ************************************************* "In conclusion, I reiterate that the open-access policy would likely be doomed to fail and the competitive benefits of the policy would not then be realized if the open-access license were controlled by an entity that was affiliated with a vertically integrated retail provider. No blocking and no locking are likely to be toothless without the third leg of the stool: no retail. If the FCC is serious about open access, it should set aside a modest amount of spectrum in the 700 MHz Auction for a wholesale-only provider." ************************************************* -- Jack Unger ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - President, Ask-Wi.Com, Inc.
