The chairmen of the FCC, Kevin martin, wants to give the newly vacated 700MHz spectrum to the people, without carrier control. The spectrum would allow people to use any device, and at anytime they want.
"Whoever wins this spectrum has to provide … truly open broadband network - one that will open the door to a lot of innovative services for consumers," Martin said in an interview Monday.
The FCC chairman said he has grown increasingly concerned that the current practices "hamper innovations" dreamed up by outside developers. One example: Mobile devices that also can use Wi-Fi, such as a home network or airport "hot spot," for Internet access. "Internationally, Wi-Fi handsets have been available for some time," Martin noted. "But they are just beginning to roll out here."
Who knows if this is really going to happen, but it would be nice. Carriers are really taking advantage of their position, wanting to control everything to be able to rack on fees!
