Until we have another spectrum auction and radio technology has advanced to the point where 3 or 4 towers (Google would be the only one who would care to do this) can service an entire metropolitan area with an optical backhaul, expect more of the same.
vzw and att business models center on anti-innovation; squeezing the consumer to the breaking point, hoard cash in order to win spectrum at whatever cost, and lobby for a farce rule-set to make it look like you support an "open" handset. We are now seeing just how open they want your phone to be.
If you own the spectrum, you have a legal right to screw the consumer. |

| Google would not buy any spectrum. They had a chance and didn't win. They gave up and admitted they only were bidding to raise the prices for VZ and ATT.
Google is only around to make the money they are and could careless what the end-users think. Remember Google can not do any evil. |
