As they clearly state, they can't see enough reason to force regulation yet. And with at least double the number of providers (far more if you count resellers) compared to landlines (USA-centric view), they're right.
Now, you can still argue that despite competition mobile internet needs regulation. But that's a much tougher argument to make.
- nanairo 16y agoWhat? So a few years ago Google believes that wireless needs to be kept open, makes a big bet and succeeds in ensuring as much. Nowadays instead it does not require regulation because there's plenty of competition. What has changed in the last few years to make Google change their mind? Have the number of wireless competitors gone up? From what I heard you (=Americans) are ending up with 2 large wireless companies (AT&T and Verizon), and a couple of little ones. If anything competition has decreased. And yet Google feels regulation is not necessary anymore.
