As reported by the Associated Press, Reuters and two articles in today’s New York Times, the FCC’s auction for the 700 mHz spectrum has ended. The auction started in January, as I discussed in my 30 January 2008 article. The winners bid a combined total of US$19.59 billion.
The FCC is not dumb - buyers must pay in full. Their names will be released within the next 10 days.
Many other blogs are discussing this topic, including VentureBeat, CrunchGear, DailyWireless and PhoneScoop.
