You might be right about the legal injunctions, although the FCC paper does mention mobile two-way communications on their documents. Super interesting read, Todd.

In depth explanation of what it will take here: http://www.wirelessdesignasia.com/article-8026-willus700mhzauctionberememberedfordismemberingwireless-Asia.html Ignoring above frequency modulation transition issues, a quick Google search of "injunction to stop muni wifi" shows the carriers are willing to spend billions in legal fees to stop cities from putting up towers and providing local wifi, effectively bankrupting municipalities should they even try. That may be a hint at the kind of response we'd see should Google want to try to become a telco using the 700 Mhz frequency. The decision makers at the telcos see the Nexus One as low volume "geeks only", OK with a few thousand unlocked handsets running on their network ( they still get the revenue from data plan ). However being cut completely out of the picture? Ha. They'll try to bury that in litigation for decades. You'll see a Google phone that runs on wifi first ( ala Google Voice ), long before one that runs on 700 Mhz It’s not that simple, modulation is quite the can of worms.
