- We can make you better, faster, poorer

- Google does not need a Carrier partner
- A recent story in PC World got me mad. It involved speculation of Google making a bid for 700 MHz spectrum, and included interviews with telecom "analysts" claiming Google "must" have a "carrier partner" to succeed. Nonsense. No "carrier" knows anything about a competitive...
