I'm glad to see this. Google has moved the ball down the field again, after playing strong offense on this already. With earlier announcements that they might enter the FCC auction for the 700Mhz radio spectrum and placing some conditions on their participation, Google opened up a conversation on the future of how we all communicate. That move was significant. Declaring today that they would officially enter the auction is probably even more so. While I'm certainly no mind reader, I happen to believe Google's heart is in the right place on this, and their desires to see things opened up will indeed benefit consumers tremendously.
We've watched things shift and change a bit already since this process kicked off in earnest. Let's hope we see more of it.
