Spectrum is a limited resource, and the upcoming 700 mhz auction is likely to be the most significant block of spectrum to become available for decades. I agree with Google that open-access rules ought to be applied to that spectrum. Systems built using open architectures (think Internet or PC) may be more anarchic than closed systems (think Apple and cell phone networks) but they are also more dynamic, more decentralized, more disposed to disruptive innovation. These are intrinsically good things, and should be fostered by the FCC (as a majority of commissioners apparently agree). Incumbents who insist on closed architectures can compete using the spectrum they've already got.
