Re: Odd

Or taking the first steps in the process. When you haggle you always demand more than you want. That way when the negotiations start you end up settling for a deal that is much closer to what you actually expected.

It will never happen if Google demands that all 4 conditions must be in the auction rules in order to bid. It sounds more like they are grandstanding trying to make a point about Net Neutrality than in actually planning to bid.

But it probably buys a lot more wireless infrastructure. Google isn't an ISP so it's probably better for them to avoid the issues that seasoned providers are more adept at like rights of way COs and whatnot.

Doesn't it sound smarter to invest in that 700Mhz market?
I am not really sure. We all can agree that a wired broadband connection of any sort most always provides superior service than a wireless service. $4.6 billion can buy a lot of fiber optic cable.

That's really the only drawback if Google were to get into this racket. They would probably hit the places already served by multiple broadband ISPs first.

  Why does this sound like grandstanding on the part of Google? Nothing is stopping them now from investing that money into expanding wired broadband solutions for places which don't have access now.
