The issues of wireless versus wireline gets very messy. And that's really an FCC issue, not a Google issue.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And the more broadband we can get globally, the better. It's better for the world; it's better for our advertisers; it's better for Google.
Almost everything the FCC does is challenged in court. There is no clean solution because we have a Communications Act that wasn't written for broadband.
One of the things I've come to realize is that, like every new technology and like every disruption, broadband has downsides.
The more broadband we can get globally, the better. It's better for the world; it's better for our advertisers; it's better for Google.
Most of Google's home technologies have failed to catch on in a major way.
So the bandwidth issue is definitely a big concern of ours.
Google's entire business model and its planning for the future are banking on an open and free Internet. And it will not succeed if the Internet becomes overly balkanized.
Broadband eliminates so many barriers to entry for so many different people that it's actually become a barrier to entry in and of itself if you're not getting online on a regular basis.
The FCC has made it clear it would punish a cable or phone company for deviating from providing 'neutral' access.
All of the people who are using their BlackBerries or their iPhones, Facebook, all of the people who are sitting in cafes and hotels rooms doing their work, they're all using wireless technology, and we shouldn't assume that the only way of the future is high speed cable.
