Re: Google won't get it even if they want it
said by TKJunkMail  :I think Google will bid the minimum of $4.6B to make sure the spectrum is leased to someone(thereby preventing a new auction later w/o open access rules) and then try to lobby Congress and the FCC to make sure the winner(the telcos) honor the rules about open access. Even if they [Google] successfully lobbied Congress and the FCC to make sure the winner (assuming it is AT&T/Verizon) honors the rules about open access, that doesn't change that nothing will result in them actually not honoring the the rules.
We've already seen countless of examples where the telcos have gone around the law to get what they want, and nobody in our government has done anything about it. And we all know how Martin loves telcos. |
