Yesterday the FCC released the date that it will be holding the much-awaited wireless spectrum auction: January 16, 2008. The FCC also announced that it was soliciting additional public comment on its auction procedures. Details for comment include anonymous bidding, package bidding and pricing. If you’ve got something to say, now’s the time to say it; August 31st is the deadline for the first round of comments and then there will be only one more week of comments following that. Additional details are available from the FCC website.

additional public comment?

what for?

The FCC doesn't appear to have paid the slightest attention to the previous public comments, why should we expect them to pay attention to more public comments?

to the best of my knowledge, this FCC has never paid much attention to the needs of the public and I don't expect it to start doing so now.

They want to give the ATT/Verizon/etc. backed Astroturf groups more time to submit their bullshit about how the existing providers should be the one's to get the spectrum... [sarcasm]After all, we don't need any more competition in the wireless business, there's plenty. [/sarcasm]

I thought Googel was going to buy it.

Isn't Google going to buy the spectrum for 4.8 billion and then let anyone use it for any thing they want.

Google is going to give the leeches a free blood lunch.
