Without a criminal trial? You self-styled freedom fighters have funny ideas about what's constitutional. ;)

I've never heard Aloha Partners offering any service over their spectrum, why did they have it? Does the current 700mhz auction have mandatory build out rules attached to it?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19882068 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 02:37:42 EDT Re: AT&T could own most 700 Mhz spectrum if approved http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19878574 DownTheShore :

How did Martin go from a CLEC pleaser to a nice guy to the Telcos? He wasn't before he was Chairman. Maybe the DOJ should start investigating this guy's wallet.
I doubt he is getting any money directly. More likely he will get support and funding when he runs for political office in North Carolina when he leaves the FCC.
Nah, he gets free cable, FIOS, whatever for life. ;)

... AT&T didn't have to bid for this spectrum. They just bought it from Aloha. If they then get the C Block 700Mhz spectrum in the auction, then AT&T would control most of the best bandwidth in the US.
In my opinion this is due in large part to the current debate over granting AT&T immunity. I've always felt that if immunity isn't granted the government would find another way to cover AT&T's costs (and let them settle everything out of court). This could be at least part of what I expected to happen.

Maybe he'll have to run for office in hell first. If he's not gay and has a wife, maybe she's getting plum work?
