« Traveler's Dilemma | Main | Cheeseburger Cascio » Google sees FCC progressGoogle notes that the FCC adopted two of Google's suggested four openness conditions for the upcoming auction of 700MHz spectrum. Just two months ago, the notion that the FCC would take such a big step forward to give consumers meaningful choice through this auction seemed unlikely at best. Today -- thanks in no small part to broad public support for greater competition -- the FCC has embraced important principles of openness, and endorsed the unfettered workings of the free market for software applications and communications devices. Moreover, over the last few weeks several leading wireless carriers have reversed course and for the first time acknowledged our call for more open platforms in wireless networks. By any measure, that's real progress. jon posted this at 4:02 AM |

I think this is a major step forward. Google didn't get everything they wanted, but they got the important stuff.
