Another thought just occurred to me.
Peter Tannewald's Blog was slightly critical of the time spent by
some of the companies that are lobbying the FCC to get more spectrum
for broadband. His list included Google, Microsoft, Comcast, Dell,
Verizon, and AT&T.
One cannot be too critical of some of these companies for working
with the entrenched telcom oligopoly to reclaim broadcast spectrum
for broadband. Clearly, they have a better chance of bypassing
today's gatekeepers with broadband than getting the media
conglomerates to play ball.
Putting this into a slightly different light, it might be useful to
create a list of companies that would be willing to partner with
LOCAL broadcasters if they were allowed to do as Peter suggests and
use their spectrum in new and innovative ways...
Not on the list:
Verizon
AT&T
Comcast/NBC
Disney/ABC
CBS/Viacom
Time Warner
Fox TV properties
ON THE LIST:
Apple
Google/YouTube
Microsoft
Dell
Facebook
Netflix
Regards
Craig
