Council Bluffs, IA | Google should have it Open access for all. Its what the FCC wants, its what Google is offering, for a sizeable amount of money. I don't want a company like Verizon or at&t buying it, then restricting it to just their stuff. We've seen how *great* it is  | |

Council Bluffs, IA | Re: Google should have it oh and I'm a democrat. I don't see the problem in letting Google have it. Put stipulation that if they don't follow on their promise, fine them heavily, much more then at&t has been allowed to get away with after the merger | |

The proper and correct way is to hire tons of lobbyists who will line the pockets of the FCC's commissioners and in turn give Google what they want.

The got the ear of a form Clinton appointee in the FCC to rig the 700Mhz auction with ope access restrictions. This in turn would drive away the big boys and drives down the bid for Google. | |

Silver Spring, MD | Re: Ah "You are talking about a several billion dollar commitment followed by probably between $10-$15 billion more to build the actual network - if someone was preparing that sort of business plan, you would think there'd be some sort of evidence of it."
-FCC Commissioner Adelstein
Oh, NOW these fck-boys want evidence? Since when did our public officials begin holding others accountable for ANYTHING? Gotdamn hypocrites; as if these billions in dollars pledged aren't gonna reach their target. Goog's been doing this a looong time, offering 'murrika free maps, gps, web searches, wifi in some spots, all the while keeping the gotdamn country on a even keel broadband wise... Muscling lazy ass ISP's with threats like "don;'t want, I'll TAKE it." We need more of that, uhhhhh, COMPETITION.
I swear its like the bloods and the crips with these politico's...
Gotdamn Democrats and Republican's want to keep us a lazy, undeserving under-class. Eff that, thats why a friggin' start-up took over the internet.
Keep on trucking Goog, and keep these goons in the dark, don't give em a chance to shit all over a good thing. | |

It seems politicos now want to keep people down so you don't disturb thier pay checks.
Government has more interest in keeping the population from thinking for themselves and just listening to whats best for you.
In the words of the Late Great John Lennon -
As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.
This won't work out for google. The FCC is pro telco. This is just icing on the cake watch. The telcos will get this for a more profitable service spectrum.

That's really the only drawback if Google were to get into this racket. They would probably hit the places already served by multiple broadband ISPs first.

| | | Doesn't it sound smarter to invest in that 700Mhz market? I'm guessing the infrastructure on that would cost less than laying down fiber all over the country. Which is exactly the reason why all the other incumbent telco and cablecos want a bit of that. | |

Mount Airy, MD | Re: Odd said by SRFireside:Doesn't it sound smarter to invest in that 700Mhz market? I am not really sure. We all can agree that a wired broadband connection of any sort most always provides superior service than a wireless service. $4.6 billion can buy a lot of fiber optic cable.

| | | | | Re: Odd But it probably buys a lot more wireless infrastructure. Google isn't an ISP so it's probably better for them to avoid the issues that seasoned providers are more adept at like rights of way COs and whatnot. | |

kudos:4 | It will never happen if Google demands that all 4 conditions must be in the auction rules in order to bid. It sounds more like they are grandstanding trying to make a point about Net Neutrality than in actually planning to bid.

You are talking about a several billion dollar commitment followed by probably between $10-$15 billion more to build the actual network -- if someone was preparing that sort of business plan, you would think there'd be some sort of evidence of it.
