Google explains how it wants to spend $4.6 billion to open broadband platforms
We heard a few days ago that Google is thinking about spending billions of dollars for the auctioning of the wireless spectrum through the FCC. Though I don’t understand all their intentions and goals, it seems that they want to make both wireless and broadband options more open, making it harder for large corporations to lock their customers in to their own devices.
For instance, it’s rather silly that in order to use an iPhone you have to buy an AT&T phone plan, you should be able to choose any service you like.
Anyway, Google went into much more detail about their plan over at their official blog.
