[CWN-Summit] Thoughts about the current FCC auction of 700MHz band?

[ben]

Does anyone here follow the current FCC auction of the 700Hz band, with 
thoughts of what it may portend for next generation community Wifi in 
the US?

Google, in particular, made a stipulation for open access to the C block 
of the 700MHz band if they bid at the reserve price, and the FCC 
obliged.  There is, of course speculation, about what the winning bidder 
would actually do with this stipulation, but it's definitely interesting 
to watch.
