Cost?

What would it cost to roll out a Nationwide, FREE, network that is ad supported? $20-$30 billion?

Now, think about what Google would make in advertising revenue if all you had to buy was the device and you could access the network for free ... Internet access, VoIP apps ... the possibilities are pretty wide and unlike WiFi, 700Mhz penetrates building/obstacles thousands of times better than 2.4Ghz does.

Depending on how this plays out, the incumbents should be VERY worried. Google could even snatch up a Vonage for what they find in their couch cushions and voila, they have a reliable VoIP infrastructure ready to go.

Oh this is juicy.
