Go Google!!!

Google wants to end that restriction and has urged the FCC to require the winner of the auction to build a network that will be open to all cellphones and services, so any consumer can have access to Google's array of offerings.


In my opinion, what ATT&T and Verizon want you to do or continue to do rather is like being limited to GE televisions if you want to watch NBC programming.

We have been able to choose from any number of long distance telephone carriers for a number of years now. Why not do the same thing with wireless phone? Let me buy the new iphone for example and use it on Verizon system if I can get a plan without paying for data service I may not utilize 100%.

Certainly google wants to be able to offer its services on the new bandwidth but that would be the same as buying your GE television, watching CBS and watching commercials?

Doesn't it come down to freedom of choice?

Anything that breaks the stranglehold felt by consumers I am in favor of.

Go Google !!!
