Susan, A side topic: I read the reference paper by Chris and was disappointed. I was expecting to see some empirical data comparing WiMAX and LTE but instead it is no more than opinion piece that jump into conclusion that Sprint is making a wrong decision. There are several technical problem with the paper showing the lack of understanding on the technologies by the author. I am not saying Sprint-Google is right to bet on WiMAX but the challenges facing them are not what stated in the paper. Back to the topic of Google move on 700Mhz, it comes actually quite refreshing. During the Supernova 2007, several people stood up (isen, dsearl etc) and asked FCC to release it as open spectrum. John Kneuer basically say "bid for it and give it away as open spectrum". Now, altho Google has not stated that is what they will do, they are probably the best company in the position to do actually that. Of course, monetizing an open spectrum is challenging but Google has never known to do things the usual ways and have always able to monetize on what they give away for free pretty successfully.
