Google proposes new spectrum plans

New wireless service providers would have an easier time finding pieces of the spectrum if a proposal by Google reaches fruition. The Google proposal, detailed in an FCC filing last week, would open a secondary auction for spectrum in a model similar to the Google AdWords mechanism. In the Google proposal, a large wireless company winning an FCC auction for spectrum would be able to offer pieces of its allotment to smaller companies to provide new or restricted services. If accepted, the proposal might allow for smaller, more innovative firms to bring new services to market faster than if they had to win the FCC auction.
