Offers To Buy FCC Airwaves -- 2008
REFLECTING ON THE 1902 NBS / AT&T Airwave
DEAL
1.
Feature Story /
\
August, 2007 / If Google
Inc. has its way, your Wireless Telephone
(cellphone, iPhone or iHandy) -- will work on any
wireless network. Telephone companies will then be
enabled to sell high-speed Internet WiFi access to
its customers -- at cut-rate prices.
Google thinks that would be
a wonderful world -- for consumers as well as its
own bottom line -- and it's proposing "to pony up
$4.6 billion in a long-shot bid to create it,"
reports the latimes.
In August, 1907, the Federal
Communications Commission, (FCC) and Google didn't
exist. In fact, when the developers of the Wireless
Telephone in 1902 were striving to win a
place in the hearts of consumers and in the world
of telephonic and telegraphic land-lines, there
were no takers.
When NBS Wireless offered
their space-linked airwave telephone monopoly to
AT&T -- there were no Federal or State
regulatory controlling factors around to takes bids
to sell NBS's etherotalk high-speed Internet WiFi
access.
If the big Trust monopolies
wanted access to the NBS high speed RF ethero
waves, that traveled at the rate of 187,000 miles
per second, they could have had it, for just the
price of an admission ticket. But they had other
ideas. The big Trusts would make a better long-term
deal with the regulators.
Google's
Minimum Bid to the trustees of the FCC -
$4.6-Billion
Google explained to the
boardmembers of the FCC, the government arm holding
the spectrums in trust . . . that Google would
offer the minimum bid of $4.6 billion . . . subject
to a few "iffies."
It wasn't until the king of
Web search information snaped in a few key words to
weed out "truths", about the history of the
Wireless Radio Wave, that they finially caved in
and offered to dig into its mountain of cash to
transform a chunk of prime public airwaves into a
high-speed VATS data freeway. If successful, it
could drive down the price of Internet access by
creating more competitors to phone and cable
companies.
Google promised to bid in an
upcoming federal auction of spectrum that is ideal
for fast wireless Internet service -- but only if
regulators agree to the company's proposals to
require open access to those airwaves. That means
any device, service, software application or
network could operate on it without
restrictions.
"That would be
revolutionary," said Bob Williams, director of
Consumers Union's HearUsNow.org, a website that
promotes telecommunications competition.
"If you want high-speed
Internet service, you basically have a choice of
two, and in a lot of places you don't have any
choice ... and that situation has to change."
Despite its promise to bid,
Google may not want to license the airwaves itself.
But it does want to force them open to increase
competition with cable and phone companies -- and
make it cheaper for people to get on the Web and
use Google's growing array of services.

02 / REFLECTING ON
THE 1902 NBS / AT&T Airwave DEAL
The Kentucky based wireless
company figured AT&T and Bell's land-line
connections would lead them to their open access
telephone number and monthly billing system.
What was the theme NBS
Wireless was promoting? "A Wireless Telephone
in every home," -- at prices lower than sending a
Western Union telegram or a Marconi "etherograph
message." MORE
AT&T
STORY.
The dream of Nathan B.
Stubblefield, 1860-1928, -- was that the
space-linked Ether wave emitted from his Wireless
Telephone -- (that could be sucked into
telephone land-lines using his aerials), would turn
his Wireless Telephone into a force for good
rather than destruction. MORE
STORY - The NBS Radio
Trust
The power of his Wireless
Telephone has been unraveled many times on
Google. Using Iraq + destruction, lead us to the
battlefields in Iraq. Someone was using iPhones to
set off bombs. MORE
vGOOGLE STORY.
Stubblefield's space-linked
voice Ether-wave Frequencies, are now sometimes
referred to by the FCC as, "Spectrums, Radio
Frequencies or RF signals." Marconi called them
"etherotalk messages." MORE
STORY: The Auto Radio
Patent.
The Radio Act of 1927,
placed the Department of Commerce in charge . . .
then seven years later, (1934) -- Congress created
the Federal Communications Commission, (FCC) to
hold in trust, the RF Wireless Telephone
seized by regulatory action between the years,
1910-1934.
Other agencies that took
control of the Ether/Radio-wave industry during
that time included: The U.S. Navy and the Post
Office Department. Since that time the Radio/TV
industry, as well as the FCC, have defined and
re-defined Wireless Telephone broadcasting as
a separate distinct science, detached from Radio
broadcasting.
Now 80 years later, after
the Radio Act of 1927 was enacted . . . "it's
Google's turn to win a place in the world of
Stubblefield's "etheroVATS dial tone RF waves being
sucked into telephonic land-lines with special
antennas . . . ," says Malcolm MacFarlane, a
spokesman for the NBS Regulatory Study group.
The study group recognizes
the radio/tv comprehensions of Google. Number one,
Google understands the history and psychic
Zeitgeist in the world funding. Will it be payTV or
double-click ads. "Plus," continued, MacFarlane,
"they might be following the $30-Billion legal
claim filed by attorney Charley Portz, against the
FCC for "the non-payment over absolutely" for
regulatory seizure of frequencies - 1910-1917."

Those who are following the
Portz case for the Stubblefield Radio Trust, know
this will be one of the biggest published RF
spectrum auctions in the nation's history.
Google's offer comes at a
time when investors are raising questions about how
much money the company is spending to put its
ambitious plans in place, and how the project will
be funded, continued MacFarlane.

03 - The FCC Plan, Includes the New Analog to
Digital coverter boxes.
/ The Mountain View,
Calif.-based company wants to prove its seriousness
and counter big wireless companies such as AT&T
Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., which say the
conditions would make the spectrum virtually
worthless.
Google is still in conflict
with AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless over rules
for the auction. The two biggest U.S. mobile-phone
carriers plan to use the airwaves to offer more of
their own mobile Web content, while Google wants
the network to be open to all devices. Google also
wants the spectrums to be resold if there's excess
capacity.
The
New Analog to Digital
Converter.
Bloomberg News reported that
FCC chairman differs with Google's plans for
airwaves. The FCC trust believes that the airwaves
to be given up by TV broadcasters in 2009 -- as
they switch from RF analog signals to digital
analog signals could fetch much more for the
federal treasury to help the FTC trust finance the
converter boxes needed to make the switch
possible.
Federal Communications
Commission Chairman Kevin J. Martin said an
airwaves-leasing proposal by Google Inc. might
discourage bidders in a government auction from
developing their networks.
With Google saying that it
would bid at least $4.6 billion for the airwaves if
the winner of the auctioned spectrum was required
to lease access to the airwaves at wholesale rates.
That may make bidders "less willing" to build out
that network, Martin said.
The auction rules should
provide "maximum incentive to invest in the
underlying wireless network," Martin said during a
hearing of a House subcommittee on
telecommunications and the Internet.
Martin, who has proposed a
minimum bid price of $4.6 billion for the spectrum
Google is seeking, wants the winner to open its
network to any legal mobile device or application.
Although his plan would allow companies to resell
airwaves, it wouldn't require it.
"The proposal I put forth
isn't designed to facilitate entry of any
particular company" into the wireless market,
Martin said. "It's not about any of the companies
but about the consumers."
Under Google's plan, people
could connect any device to any network and run any
software they want on their phones, including free
Internet-based calling systems such as Skype.
But most important for
boosting competition, companies would be able to
use the airwaves at a wholesale price to offer
their own Internet access.
"In short, when Americans
can use the software and handsets of their choice,
over open and competitive networks, they win,"
Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt wrote in a
letter to FCC Chairman Kevin J. Martin.
The effort is backed by
public interest groups and a coalition of major
technology companies including Intel Corp., EBay
Inc., Yahoo Inc., DirecTV Group Inc. and EchoStar
Communications Corp.
But it faces huge obstacles
in Washington, where the politically powerful phone
companies have been fighting it.
Martin last week supported
Google's plan to allow people to use any device or
software on a network, but not the more
controversial open-access requirement that many
view as the key to creating a viable nationwide
competitor to phone and cable companies in
broadband access.
Martin worried that imposing
the conditions could make it difficult for auction
winners to get funding to build their networks. The
FCC is still drawing up the rules for the airwave
auction.
AT&T slammed Google's
offer Friday, saying it was just an attempt to
pressure the FCC to "stack the deck in its
favor."
Under the traditional
auction rules, Google says it and other companies
can't outbid the big phone companies because of
their built-in advantage of existing networks of
cellular towers and pools of customers.
"It doesn't matter whether
or not Google has the deep
pockets --
at some point you've got to
say this is just an unreasonable investment," said
Richard Whitt, Google's telecom and media counsel
in Washington. "We're just trying to un-skew things
enough to give Google ... or a DirecTV or an
EchoStar or a Yahoo or whoever comes in there at
least a decent shot for the spectrum."
The spectrum is considered
ideal for providing wireless high-speed Internet
access.
Rob Sanderson, an analyst
with American Technology Research Inc., said Google
had much to gain from lowering the price of
high-speed Internet access. But he doubted Google
wanted to buy any airwaves and provide the service
itself.
"They're really trying to
encourage an environment where others
can
step in and become competitors," he said.
