And for the company that used to have the slogan "do no evil" and then
canceled said slogan, the rich to heaven part may end up being
particularly appropriate... Google will be going after those 3.GHz
licenses in a big way when they come available...

I didn't realize there were other variants :)
The camel thing is used in the bible as a metaphor for something nearly
impossible. "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a
needle than for a rich man to go to heaven"....or something to that
effect. (I hope nobody here has gotten too rich, we want to see you on
the other side).
I imagine Reynolds understands the metaphor, but not the application of
it. He may be right to question it. Google has probably weighed the
options. .

You can't put 12 pounds of shit in a 10 pound bag.
You can't get 100 gbps in ~100 MHz of spectrum.
