The article states:
FCC Chairman Kevin J. Martin has proposed using one-third of the available spectrum to build an "open network" that would allow the use of any mobile device or service without the restrictions that current providers place on their networks. The idea is welcomed by technology companies such as Google, but poses a serious threat to such carriers as Verizon Wireless and AT&T.I am not an expert on this matter, but my instinct is to go with Google (motto: "Don't be evil.") rather than with "The Phone Company". More seriously, I think we are still in the early stages of development of the Internet based global information infrastructure, and want to maximize innovation. Open systems and open networks seem clearly to do so.
If we had listened to enshrined the policy preferences of the buggy whip makers in our laws we would still be up to our necks in horse manure!
