| said by bottled leaf :maybe he wants to know more about the service. What service? Maybe you missed the thrust of the news item - the service doesn't exist and is very likely to never exist(at least with Google involvement). So it would be pretty hard to provide details, wouldn't it?

| Exactly. This isn't about a service at all, but about the ability to use the frequency. Maybe the auction winner will use it to create a whole new wireless network technology (802.11z!), or maybe they will start their own cell company, with a signal that will much better penetrate walls and trees and stuff.

Google is after trying to create a free wimax network. Google is also going to put out a stripped down OS to go with it. The idea being a free high speed network that locks you into using Google and Google tools. $$$$$$$$$ for Google if they pull it off. Google has been buying up a lot of dark fiber claiming it's for internal use, I don't think it's for internal use it's just Google trying to keep the phone companies at bay. |

If it was a private company, then maybe that would be possible.
It's more likely that google is setting the price high for the spectrum for the actual bidders, so the government can get more money.
Google has a lot of x-govt workers in management and a bit of good graces with lawmakers would help them.
