Battle over letting AT&T and Verizon chew up even more spectrum
http://j.mp/ZV1bBw (IT World)
"Those revenues matter," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a co-author of the
Georgetown study. "That has implications for public policy." Even a
partial restriction of bids by Verizon and AT&T could have a
significant impact on auction revenues, he said. The study considers
scenarios that won't happen, countered Matt Wood, policy director at
digital rights group Free Press. "No one is talking about completely
barring AT&T and Verizon from the incentive auction," Wood said in an
email. "Sensible people are talking about making sure that more than
two companies have a chance at obtaining spectrum. The fact that these
duopolists hired economists to parrot the companies' own talking
points isn't really that newsworthy."
