Amen. Designing government policy for the purpose of generating the highest
income from spectrum licensing is completely contrary to policy designed to
serve the public. This had a major role in the US cellular industry losing
the worldwide lead (which didn't do any American any good). Why can't our
government understand this? European 3G spectrum auctions nearly broke the
back of BT (forced it into bankruptcy and spliting the company such that the
telecom half didn't sink with the cellular half ... or at least that's how I
understood it). The FCC should be managing spectrum for the benefit of the
American people, not managing spectrum to maximize government revenue. But
that's just me.

Finally, a big company that's got the brains to tell the government to
stick their high price spectrum tax where the sun don't shine!
