To Google's credit, it seems clear they really want to be as 'open' as possible, from all angles, including w/ regard to networks. But at least in today's landscape, they had to pick a carrier, so the close deal w/ T-Mo was a necessary evil. Will future wider networks such as WiMax help things? We'll see.
