Awesome!
Forbes has it at Forbes.com. The main points about this that I especially appreciate.
Google already successfully lobbied that whoever wins, an aspect of the spectrum will be open to other carriers.
Google, just by announcing this, is shaking up the wireless world. This is a good thing. As was discussed at RonAmok.com, I have been stuck in a Verizon cycle of needing to change my plan which brings it back to 2 years. I’m tired of the hold the wireless companies have on us and anything that can be done to erode that and bring the power back to us, I’m all for.
A continuation from the previous point. I own my phone. I don’t want Verizon to tell me what I can or can’t put on it. I pay for my data plan, and I don’t want Verizon to tell me what I can or can’t download and upload.
So best case scenario? Google’s involvement in this space revolutionized the wireless industry and I have the power again. More apps on my phone. Better apps on my phone. Better prices all around. Less of a stranglehold on service plans by the big wireless companies.
