uh oh, we scrooged

there goes the last chance for broadband competition in the U.S.

I like the way the article headline spins this: FCC embraces open access. Just enough to not be worth much (if anything), but gives the anti-consumers something to point to about how great this will be for consumers.

only hope now is if google has a surprise and is willing to bid huge $$$$ for spectrum - remember, they have to overcome the telco anti-competition premium (value to incumbents of locking out competition that is over and above the inherent spectrum value).
