"the real winners of this auction are American consumers who likely will see more choices than ever before in how they access the Internet."

Sounds like Mel Karamazin of Sirius explaining the benefits of the XM/Sirius merger. Just replace 'internet' with music.

Putting on the cynical corporate hat here, anyone who says they are benefiting the consumer while having a $625 a share price makes me just a little skeptical.

Will 700Mhz become the Google channel of non-stop ads? Will it become what TV became, "a vast wasteland"

When has Google ever used intrusive ads anyways? Ads you see on people's web site are placed there my the site hosts themselves. Gmail's are so far off to the right, I forget they're there.

Google Maps moble doesn't have any. Picasa doesn't have any. None of their other apps have any. What makes you think a paid service would all the sudden make Google change their whole business practice to simply piss off people?

JasonD @comcast.net	Not sure where your point is leading on the XM/Sirius merger, but both are under severe pressure. If they don't merge, we might loose both of them.

The point of relating it to the XM/Sirius merger is the duplication of purpose, "benefit to consumers" Any company with a high share price like Google's (which translates to market cap), shows they have a dominant position with the financial markets. Anyone with that kind of position saying "consumer benefit" is subject to scrutiny. So yes, they do relate and that was the point.
