Here are a couple links which might be of interest to some regarding the spectrum auction being held by our government next year. The winner of this auction may have a large hand in shaping how we will wirelessly access the Internet in the near future. The stories are about Google getting into the game, and the conditions they have proposed for the auction.

I'm tingling over the idea of a ubiquitous network that doesn't have telcos as gatekeepers.

This is where I first heard about it. I suppose Iphone useres will be extatic
I don't think that is quite the same story, Andy.
But it is an interesting second sign of the death of de-regulation.
listen a bit into there, aroudn 1:50.
Google needs to get a chunk of airwaves, either "open access rules" laws being proposed or by "buying up a chunck of the spectrum itself" that TV stations used to use, but no longer need as they are going digital, thats the FCC auction your article is talking about.
It is hitting all the same points as your article. The whole opening statement of 'everyone gets an Iphone like device?' is addressing "Under a truly open network, consumers would be able to use any application on any device that they want." mentioned in your article
Ah, I see, Andy. No hint of that in the summary.
