Does the NY Times not know what the purpose of an auction is? It is for the seller to get the highest possible price for the item being sold...
Exactly! That's not what the FCC is supposed to be about, but that's the way spectrum auctions have been set up.

The FCC should be using a process that ensures new entrants WILL win licenses, to foster competition and benefit consumers. Who the hell do you expect to win these licenses when highest bidder wins? No-name Wireless, Ltd or ATT?

If this is the way spectrum continues to be auctioned, there will never be significant competition in wireless broadband and all spectrum will be owned by the current incumbents with few possible exceptions.

Tell that to your Congresscritter. They set the rules. The FCC just carries the water.
