Yeah, but we're talking fresh ideas to Telecom here... :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19954121 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 20:49:42 EDT Re: Verizon has to win it http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19953202 emptywig :

What would a fresh idea for running a telecom look like? I don't think Google has one.
Service? Features? Value?
Hardly fresh ideas.

What new features? I mean, there are only so many things a phone can do.

I think Google needs to stay out of the phone biz. Stick with what you know.

Not me... I'd rather see a new, powerful competitor enter the market with fresh ideas and a will to fight.
Even if that powerful new competitor has NEVER rolled out a wireless network before, not even a local one ??

I doubt Google would try on their own - they would team with someone else, possibly with an existing provider entity you might consider 'evil'.

Seeding this spectrum to the big boys will give us more of the same we have now: Consolidation, higher prices, Slow access, Caps, 2 year contracts, etc etc

They pretty much have to win or not be a player in 4G.

They do have AWS some spectrum for the eastern half of US if I recall, but not enough nationwide. ATT and Sprint already have enough to deploy 4G mostly nationwide.

I'd rather see Google partner with someone (like Sprint WiMAX) than become a telcom company. I really don't see Google dealing with customer support of such services.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19944975 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 12:54:42 EDT
