The FCC is patting themselves on the back for a major advancement in opening up the networks and all they've really done is said, "Hey, let's be on par with Europe." Which allows for unlocked phones and customers to move from carrier to carrier. This "win" is barely going to influence the carriers. They will still control users and they can still put software hooks into their phones kind of in the same way Microsoft does.
I met Scott Slater yesterday at the Personal Broadband Industry Association and he offered the view that Google is trying to push the FCC to create a nationwide broadband wireless infrastructure. I've got a very detailed post about it here with all the issues going on. http://www.sparkminute.com/?p=225
"I'm moving to a small studio and for some reason the cable connection is in an awkward place and I need a way to transmit HD quality video and audio no more than 20 feet away. What is the best wireless HDMI transmitter / receiver for this situation? Thanks!"
