Mar 26, 2007 1 Replies

in my humble opinion and pardon my ignorant grammar , new Federal Auctions of airwaves in the 700-megahertz band of the public taxpayers spectrum are due this spring and summer, so what will happen? the monopolies of Verizon Wireless ,ATT and Comcast cable will take everything or America will have a chance to build a real mobile Internet?



a) the mobile phone industry , blocking USB,Bluetooth,Linux,etc.,and now Comcast blocking-off

is a disaster for capitalism and free enterprise, is fascist and un-Constitutional, its Un-American, what will the FCC do ?



b) how can your kids open any business on mobile if all is going to be controlled totally by Microsoft,Verizon Wireless,Yahoo and the cable Lobby now moving into mobile ? they control how you upload, download, from who and how, its a nightmare of repression and a monopoly , its impossible for any kid to start any business in the mobile world, a disaster for the USA economy !



c) on mobile tv and video, these monopolies are trying to limit choices to only one option: MediaFlo from Qualcomm (Verizon Wireless,ATT,Vodafone) which already is trying to monopolize with CDMA all wireless standards, a Qualcomm who already illegally took all the Navy and Army radio protocols and mixed them up with its own truck radios and patented all in the late 90's under its name and its chairman's name, Jacobs, and no one in the Pentagon ( where are the Military radios since 1905?) said anything, so now we got all the wireless radios in America developed since the 19th Century controlled by Qualcomm and Jacobs,what a criminal shame !



d) so what will the FCC and Congress do ? save America or bend over one more time for the neocon racket of Jacobs? and the president ? because his top yes-men,Bolten-Keller-Kaplan-etc. are all partners of the Jacobs racket, their intent is to monopolize all media access for the 2008 election so that only one voice is standing, their intent is to put Emanuel,Feingold,Bloomberg or any other neocon in the White House, with Barak, with Hillary or with anybody left, its a farce and un-constitutional, its a fraud ! ..... while the men of my christian community watching the players shake their ---- up in the air and their woman reading all the gossip tabloids in the supermarket check out counter or the local bookstore,a total blindness, a national disaster !



to the young men and woman, run for office, tell the FCC , tell the Congress ,tell them that these airwaves belong to you, the USA Taxpayers, get involved and save America !

  1. There are no such monopolies -- there's actually intense competition.
2, There is no such control of Internet activities (in the free world at least).
  1. Qualcomm is only one of several entities with CDMA patents.

  1. Auctioning spectrum is the best way to ensure the most efficient use. The alternative is government meddling that just doesn't work.
