D Block Spectrum Auction Fraud Alleged

Posted by samzenpus on from the shades-of-grey dept.

eweekhickins writes "A public interest group is saying that a consulting firm hired to help the government hand over the D-block spectrum may have acted improperly and discouraged potential bidders by suggesting that any winning bid would have to pay $50 million in annual fees, in addition to the auction price. Any wonder the D-block didn't meet the reserve price?"

    Sorry, your first post didn't have enough characters to meet the reserve. Try again some other time.
