Cringely: Google planning to build a 700-MHz and WiFi mesh network? Watchout ISPs and telcos!
- myoung8 19y agoGoogle isn't going to get the spectrum! Kevin Martin (FCC Chairman) crafted the auction rules in such a way that it isn't attractive for Google or any other third party to bid, plus the incumbents have so much power in D.C. already. Sure, they would like to build-out in the 700MHz band, but it is very unlikely to happen.
- wmf 19y agoMy guess is that Google never wanted to build a wireless network; instead they want a telco (who already has towers) to be tricked/forced to build a network that suits Google.
