With Google, Larry Page has gone a long way toward achieving the audacious goal he and co-founder Sergey Brin set for the company: "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible."

One of his current goals is equally ambitious: making the Internet itself accessible, anywhere and anytime, through pervasive and affordable wireless broadband networks. Page has helped lead Google's efforts over the past year to pry open both unused TV airwaves and closed cellular networks to promote wireless broadband competition and consumer choice.

In an interview-style discussion with New America's Michael Calabrese, Page will describe Google's strategy for expanding access to the Internet and allocating spectrum more efficiently -- and explain why opening the vacant TV channels for unlicensed access after next February's DTV transition is the most important thing the FCC can do this year to promote broadband deployment and tech sector innovation.
