Comment What about universities? (Score 1) 148
Maybe I'm alone here, but I think universities such as Harvard (and others) should team up and buy the 700MHz spectrum.
- They understand the importance of an open system.
- They can sell off chunks of it or usage of it at their discretion, thereby raising large amounts of money.
- They are often leaders in the technology industries.
- They have access to students who are more than willing to think outside the box.
I think Google could do a great job with the spectrum, but I think it'd be better for innovation if universities held the reigns instead of a corporation. No matter how much the company insists that it isn't "evil."
