I hope Tom is Right about 700MHz and Google

One of the avocations that Tom Evslin has is expanding broadband access in the US and building an alternative to the Cable/Telco duopoly.  In this post, he's prognosticating that Google will win a piece of the 700MHz bandwidth auction and become an enabler of true competition in delivering mobile broadband.  Its a tall order, because the hardware to take advantage of this spectrum is not commercially available yet, but I strongly suspect that they are in the testing stages, or at least in prototype.  If Google doesn't hog the spectrum for itself and becomes a true enabler, there will be insanely great opportunities to build new networks and devices that just work, over a wide physical area and boy will that rock!
