Why Can't the CTIA Make the 700 Mhz Auction Debate More Constructive?

CTIA's attacks on Google's $4.6 billion incentive have involved misrepresentation, and the calculated use of sound bites. Now they've posted white papers, such as the one on "The Economics of Net Neutrality" (PDF), to support their position that Google's ultimatum is an attempt to rig the game.

Still, if the comments for Om Malik's post on the subject is any indicator, no one's buying the criticisms directed towards Google. Net-savvy customers, including smartphone and PDA users, can see through the forceful language. They get the feeling that opposition to Google's push for network stemslinks from a fear of losing money.

Maybe that's why the CTIA, an organization that represents US telecoms and service providers, can't make the debate more constructive. It's hard to find an argument with merit, when all you're concerned about is the bottom line.
