I'm not sure I like the idea of playing with the 700MHz auction by placing restrictions on its use and favoring Frontline et al, but more unlocked devices on the US market is not a bad thing. I think the opening up will happen with the explosion of UMA-enabled devices which roam on WiFi (RIMM's is coming out end of this year), and also open-source devices in general. It will allow a more gradual transition into new services without blowing up the operators' business models in the meantime. Paul Raj,

You should know you sold your company to one those walled garden parts suppliers. All this gets down to spectral efficiency issue. I think if FCC opens up licensed band for secondary RF comm with some Cognitive radio arch. FCC needs move this direction! otherwise we are back in old AT&T land line world. Goodluck! Raj Hi Paul,
