Re: I know what the rules will be;

The so called Carter phone provisions will only apply to 22 mhz of the spectrum, plus, apparently, there are ways to get around even those requirements.

The best consumers can hope for is in 5 years that there *might* be some regulatory pressure to open devices. *Might*.

This auction seems as rigged as the rest.

That's just it. A third of the spectrum, and with legal loopholes out the wazzoo.

It will be interesting to see how many outlets proclaim this a "Huge win for consumers" and other nonsense....
