Windfall - blown away

Nice.
So beyond how the primary carriers will rape us with fees for use of the new spectrum they now 'own'...
...what will happen to the $15 BILLION dollars?
Iraq war fund?
Department of Homeland Security slushfund #123?
Another congressional pay raise?
I'd like to see some proper and responsible accounting of this money.

That's a bit of an extreme metaphor. Are the companies involved holding a gun to your head and forcing you to use their services? Of course not.

Well, they're the "public airwaves", so I'm sure that right now, they're figuring how much of a check they're going to send to each one of us as our share of the proceeds

It all goes to general Treasury. The money will not be earmarked for anything in particular. And $15 billion will be spent by the Federal government in 47 hours time based on the 2007 fiscal year budget of $2.8 trillion.

I read most of the money was going to be used to switch government officials from the current spectrum that is being sold.
