FCC to Investigate D-Block Auction

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the messing-with-the-system dept.

eweekhickins writes "Feds and public interest groups are taking seriously accusations that someone tampered with the wireless spectrum auction process. The block of spectrum that was supposed to go to emergency responders failed to get close to the reserve price, raising suspicions that someone was trying to make money off the Sept. 11 national tragedy. But that would never happen, right?" This is a follow up to last week's allegations.

    Umm, maybe the government should just build a dedicated emergency services network themselves. Seems like it would be better to have this done in the public sector.
