More MSM 700 MHz coverage July 18, 2007
Posted by ianmartinez in : General , trackbackAnother 700 MHz shoutout from WaPo:
I think the paper continues to do a balanced job of presenting the issues as they are debated without privileging one perspective over another.
Under proposed FCC restrictions, the winning bidder on one block of spectrum would have to allow any device or application to be used on its network so long as it didn’t harm the network. Some tech companies such as Google argue that these “open access” restrictions don’t go far enough. But the further restrictions they’re pushing for would reduce the value of the spectrum without any assurance of making the industry more competitive or producing a viable entrant.
And there you have it. Of course onerous access restrictions will limit providers’ incentive to build out, undermining all the effort in Congress and at the FCC, I might add, to bring the number of un- or under-served households down to zero.
