I'd like to see some proper and responsible accounting of this money.
Thanks for the chuckle.

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

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.

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.

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.
