Google never really cared about forcing spectrum winners to wholesale access. This was a throwaway demand to the FCC. Even in the land of Google they understand that if a prerequisite to buying something is to give it away, the price goes down dramatically and no one will make the investment necessary to utilize the spectrum.

I have to admit I’m quite impressed with the stand on free speech (except in China), transparency (except in China), and openness (except in China). Don’t be evil. Except in China.
