Re: Interesting Note

I don't think they get to bid again, they just win the blocks with the open access requirement.

The reason it makes sense to do it that way, is to save 100 million dollars or so. They could have placed a higher bid on the whole block, but they'd have to bid in increments, say $130 million more. If they can win with just a $30 million overbid, they saved some money.
