I don't know how someone could consider Google's 4 demands as being designed only to benefit Google. Those 4 demands benefited USERS, is that not obvious? I thought it would have been but I guess the telco lobbyists did a good job of convincing certain people otherwise. This guy is basically preaching the exact same thing as the dissenting FCC commissioners.

Perfect example of our wonderful govt ignoring citizen interests in favor of those of the lobbyists.

This guy is beating a dead horse anyway, the ruling has already happened and is done. Its really just a matter who participates in the auction and who comes through in the clutch. I dont see GOOG shareholders being happy with them spending the amount of money that the telcos will be able to however.. especially if the carriers collude. This understanding could have been the reason why google tried to instate these rules to begin with.
