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.

Re: Windfall - blown away

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

@bellsouth.net
yeah, by giving it back to every u.s. taxpayer.

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.

Re: Windfall - blown away

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