Re: EVDO

The sad part is that even IF the auction goes well, the first people serviced will again be the large urban areas where they will get the biggest bang for the buck.

I am not in favor of the govt telling companies how to run and who to service, but if the true meaning of the auction is give rural users access, then the govt. needs to be clear that the first locations serviced by the high bidder will be RURAL areas.

I, however, doubt this will ever happen. Companies like AT&T should NOT be allowed to sign contracts with WB because it falsly allows them to claim that they cover "anybody" when in fact, they don't. They are using their agreement with WildBlue to avoid building out service with RT's to the rural users.

Mark my words, the winner of the spectrum auction will sign a deal with one of the sat providers to allow them to claim that they are servicing the last mile customers.....
