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.

According to today’s New York Times, and Engadget, Verizon won almost the entire C block, while AT&T has won most of the “B” block.
