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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18716972 Sat, 21 Jul 2007 01:50:58 EDT Re: Odd http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18715199 TK Junk Mail : 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.

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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18715049 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 20:00:06 EDT Re: Odd http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18714297 pnh102 :

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.

I'm guessing the infrastructure on that would cost less than laying down fiber all over the country. Which is exactly the reason why all the other incumbent telco and cablecos want a bit of that. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18713911 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 16:51:23 EDT Re: Odd http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18713246 pnh102 :

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.

Nothing is stopping them now from investing that money into expanding wired broadband solutions for places which don't have access now.
