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.
Free and corporation dont go well together. 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. -- The will of the people is the best law. -Ulysses S Grant
