I’ve been meaning to write about this all week, but for this or that reason, I’ve forgotten to address it. And that’s the ending of FCC auction 73, the bid for the beloved 700mhz spectrum. Apparently the only unsold portion is the D-block, which was the portion to be shared with the government for emergency broadcasting. Yesterday slashdot was running a forum about why this portion went unsold. But I say, "who cares." We care about the real winners, the winners who collectively bid some nineteen plus billion to forever change the way we use our mobile communicative technologies. Where the heck is my google android phone?
The top bidders have yet to be released. At least not as of the time of my writing this.
