| FCC Chief breaks rules to create favorable press?
Say it isn't so!
We all figured this Auction would be highly suspect from the start. Looks to be right on track, heads they win, tails, we lose.
I'd love to see some well-funded third party step in as the white Knight and buy up this spectrum for new services and competition.... But, alas, I expect that the consumer will be beaten like a red-headed stepchild as a large incumbent buys out the licenses and then sits on them or merely assimilates them into their existing infrastructure of services.... no new competition, no new broadband options.
Business as usual at the FCC.... Move along, nothing to see here....
