Richard Whitt, Google’s Washington telecom and media lawyer stated in the letter that “As Google has pointed out previously, the vast majority of viable spectrum in this country simply goes unused, or else is grossly underutilized. Unlike other natural resources, there is no benefit to allowing this spectrum to lie fallow.”

The company pressed on that the space available offers a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to provide ubiquitous wireless broadband access to all Americans,” wsj.com reports.

The report continues to say that TV broadcasters are not in favor to the use of white spaces because it may interfere with TV programming. This move is one of many efforts by Google to have an upper hand in the mobile market.

Whitt wrote “Google also would be willing to provide, at no cost to third parties, the technical support necessary to make these plans happen. This could include intellectual property and reference designs for underlying technologies, open geo-databases maintained by Google, and other supporting infrastructure. Of course we welcome other as well with an interest in helping to provide such support.”

Although the company claims to encourage competition, Whitt concluded by writing “Technological innovation, and the significant changes it brings, can be a scary prospect for some. But it should not be the government’s role to protect the status quo, especially by blocking access to the new.”

Olli Pekka Kallasvuo, CEO of the company predicts that the group operating margin will reach 16% to 17% in the next two years. The forecast for the mobile device and services business in the next two years is an operating margin of 20%. The company’s shares are up 76% from last year. Kallasvuo said to The WSJ that he anticipates the competition to become tougher in 2008 with newer competitors such as Microsoft and Google entering the mobile market. This threat has sped up the work to create stronger divisions within the company besides mobile hardware.

“Nokia’s goal is to be the world’s No. 1 in bringing the Internet to mobile devices. We estimate that in 2010, the total Internet-services market will be approximately $147 billion,” Kallasvuo said to WSJ. Besides various deals with music and entertainment companies, Nokia is also planning to acquire Palo Alto-based Avvenu, to further this venture. Avvenu is a software company whose product assists access to personal files from mobile handsets. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
