We have reports that the 'Open access' provision on the 700 mhz spectrum is favored by a majority of FCC commissioners.
It appears to be both of the Dems, and one Republican on the panel, the Republicans are "undecided" (translation, waiting to see who ponies up to the RNC).
This will allow people to attach to the network with whatever equipment and using whatever software that they want, like the land lines, and the Internet.
When one notes the explosion of innovation when AT&T was told to do this in the 1970s (you could get phones that weren't black!), this is a good thing for everyone but the Baby Bells.
