FCC Tops $10B Total from 700-MHz Spectrum AuctionDougF 01-31-2008, 09:52 AM The Federal Communications Commission topped the $10 billion it needs to collect from its 700-megahertz spectrum auction, although it still needs to meet its floor prices for each block of spectrum before that number becomes official. http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6527217.html kayleigh 02-02-2008, 01:04 AM $13b now, I think. I'm more curious about the Google provision (http://techland.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/01/31/google-gets-its-way-with-new-wireless-network/) in the auction. It looks good on paper (open source in the wireless spectrum), but you know they'll find a way to angle it to make them $$$ and get majority market share in... something!
