James Louis Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/01/fcc-holding-huge-spectrum-auction-with-everyone-looking-to-secure-more-of-the-airwaves.html I believe the next wave of bidding is the H Block. Wanted to post this yesterday, but I forget which browser of mine knows how to sign into the forum! On a related note, I thought that digital broadcast was going to hail a new era of hyper-niche programming where someone like me could buy into a channel, lease space for a program, or gain public access. But only the big contenders are really invited to these auctions. The senate is rejecting the notion that proposals and bids should be evaluated equitably ("should" being the operative word of nominative economics). Yes the government is here to serve the public, but they also must consider that it's their auction, and auctions are designed to go to the highest bidder. But we also have anti-monopoly laws, so I wonder where the ref will come in and break things up. When it comes to the 600's, I hope Sennheiser has enough political appeal (nod to an existing thread: ). Wait, 600's?! That shaves into the g-band.

Scott Smith Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 To clarify (just so people don't panic...yet), this auction is for the 1915-1920 MHz and 995-2000 MHz band. The auction for the 600 mHz band has been postponed till 2015. As always, the players with the deepest pockets will win (which will not be us). --Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks, Scott. I was going to clarify, but didn't have the upper frequency numbers at hand. So, to clarify further: Our PUBLIC SERVANTS are going to sell our PUBLIC AIRWAVES to the highest bidders in PRIVATE ENTERPRISE so they can make more money off of the PUBLIC.

This should be on a t-shirt. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
