These guys are true genii. They take the trendyness of simplicity and really bring it to a whole new level. They're just trying to help us out when we need <insert search phrase here>... right?

But then they go on to create all these cool additions to their super fast and simple search feature: Google Maps, Google Local, Gmail, Froogle, Google Video, Google Images... Google store? And more specifically: Google Gum!

Google takin' on the FCC...

Google Wants FCC to Free Up "White Space" for Mobile Broadband, Allow "Wi-Fi on Steroids"
Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - Google didn't come away with anything in the recently ended 700-Mhz, but don't feel sorry for them just yet.

Google is lobbying for access to the "white spaces" - largely unused spectrum that resides next to broadcast TV spectrum - for use for mobile broadband. In a letter (.PDF) sent to the FCC last Friday by Richard Whitt, Google’s Washington telecom and media counsel, Google said:

As Google has pointed out previously, the vast majority of viable spectrum in this country simply goes unused, or else is grossly underutilized. Our nation typically uses only about five percent of one of our most precious resources. Unlike other natural resources, there is no benefit to allowing this spectrum to lie fallow. The airwaves can provide huge economic and social gains if used more efficiently, as seen today with the relatively tiny slices utilized by mobile phones and WiFi services.

The unique qualities of the TV white space -- unused spectrum, large amounts of bandwidth, and excellent propagation characteristics -- offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to provide ubiquitous wireless broadband access to all Americans. In particular, this spectrum can provide robust infrastructure to serve the needs of under-deployed rural areas, as well as first responders and others in the public safety community. Moreover, use of this spectrum will enable much-needed competition to the incumbent broadband service providers.

In other words, that spectrum is wasted, let us use it. At the same time, Google has a section in the letter titled "No risk: an enhanced spectrum protection proposal" in which they make sure to outline how they will ensure that they won't adversely affect broadcasters.
