for some reason im not expecting that to happen (the open access thingy).

also, even if it happens. this is only the usa. ok so its a big market, but 
does anyone know what that area of frequency is used for in other nations?

will a device that have the ability to transmitt on said frequency risk being 
illegal in other parts of the world?

Dean et al.,

I had a very similar reaction to the 700MHz auction debate.

It seems like a potentially incredible opportunity for openmoko,
asterisk or any number of open platform wireless tech. The FCC is
mandated by Congress to get this auction done quickly, but don't hold
your breath; AT&T and other members of the telco/cable duopoly in
broadband provision aren't going to sit by and let Google dictate
auction terms to the FCC. Nevertheless, couldn't hurt to ask Google
(and other potential auction winners) what they're going to do with it
and how, if they get it.

It'll happen awfully fast and it'd be great to see OpenMoko on top of
things IF the FCC accepts some Open Access requirements for the spectrum.

Best,

Mischa

700Mhz Spectrum

[Dean Collins]

Great article here about the concept of open spectrum I posted a few
weeks ago. Could be very very interesting.

http://machinist.salon.com/blog/2007/07/20/google_fcc/

 

Maybe an Asterisk/OpenMoko tie-in?
