AWS Spectrum Auction Ends
How well did T-Mobile do?
Did they do as good as expected or were they expected to do better? It sounds like they did well.
They spent allot of money but the real question is did they get good bang for their buck? My belief is they over spent in many areas. But all in all they did well I think! Can they continue to offer their data products at such a low cost with this ki...

I actually agree. I think they did quite well despite odds that they wouldn’t be so successful. However, in the West they got F block which was great because that would allow them to have an additional 20mhz. North East however they got the E block...

Sprint got the best deal it seems
267 million people, and they only spent $2.4 billion, in joint ventures with cable companies.
Hmm... I wonder if this was the 4G spectrum sprint needed, or maybe the TV broadcast spectrum for DVBH (or similar technologies)??

Present or Future
I was thinking how do you determine a winner or loser in this auction. Companies are taking different approaches to this auction. Several companies are planning for the future while others are planning for the here and now. Companies like Leap and MetroPCS are looking to capitalize on this spectrum as quickly as possible while Verizon, Cingular and Sprint are looking to position themselves for the future. TMO is attacking for both perspectives. Who are some of these other players and who are they bidding for or what are they planning on doing with that spectrum? Anyone know?
