More evidence of Google/Dish providing own LTE service eventually?

Maybe?

It's more and more likely going to happen, but there are still hurdles a plenty:

http://9to5google.com/2012/11/21/fcc...seek-partners/

A chairman of the Federal Communications Commission just publicly backed Dish Network’s proposal to create a wireless service, according to a new report by the Washington Post.

While the FCC still needs to vote on the proposal before the end of the year, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski supports the plan, which requires approval from the agency’s four other commissioners, because it would help increase competition in a wireless market currently dominated by AT&T and Verizon.

Dish Network said the regulatory body has apparently set limits on how it can use the wireless spectrum, however. The agency’s proposal, for instance, requires Dish to use lower power levels to reduce potential interference with neighboring airwaves. Dish said the requirement—which direct competitor Sprint Nextel supported— would limit its network and slow upload speeds.

I actually been thinking for a while now to ditch regular plan and just go with a data sim and use skype.
