Re: NY Times Misses the Point

The FCC's budget is about 2% of what this one auction brought in. While I am sure there is some budgetary consideration when/if the FCC asks for out-of-ordinary expense items, the auction process is all about Congressional money grabbing. The FCC was mandated to do it, and has no choice in the matter.

It goes directly to the Treasury's general fund. The FCC gets nothing.
Except maybe some extra consideration in the annual budget process.
