While some overselling is reasonable since everyone won't come at the same time nor stay the entire day
Why is it reasonable? If customers pay for the right to be there the entire day, why should the promoter be allowed to gamble on whether a critical mass of attendees will exceed the building's capacity? If promoters want to bet on margins and keep a negative float, they should get a license to trade financial instruments.
Which re-begs the question of why licensees should be allowed to resell the spectrum at all. As the OP asked, why shouldn't licensees return unused spectrum to the actual owners, us, and we can have our representatives, the government, re-license it and pocket the money. Why are licensees profiting in a secondary market for public resources?
I don't get your point. A spectrum auction is where the FCC sells licenses to use bands of spectrum. I don't know where you got the false notion that these companies owned the spectrum itself.
From the opening sentence: "2014 was supposed to be the year broadcasters would be allowed to sell off their unused spectrum to mobile carriers." The use of "their" suggests that "broadcasters" possess and will be allowed to sell off unused spectrum.
How long until someone offers a service that explores multiple paths to a particular item (mobile, customer, non-customer, cleared cookies, items-in-cart, etc.) at a particular retailer and provides the best price?
They most certainly do have your consent - you installed the software, and turned on the "automatically download iTunes purchases to this device" option.
They have the user's consent to download iTunes purchases, but they don't have the user's consent to make purchases on the user's behalf. Those users who set up automatic download couldn't possibly have guessed that Apple would be unilaterally adding purchased items to their accounts.
Suppose they drove a van into the embassy, Assange got in (or didn't get in), and they drove it out to an airport.
Your plan is close, but you would actually need a man-sized diplomatic pouch, large enough for Assange to crouch within, with the zipper fully closed with a diplomatic seal. He'd need to stay in the pouch until his plane was outside territorial airspace.
So my cat picture blog will rank lower than a competitor's SSL encrypted cat picture blog, even though neither of us require you to log in or even prove you are a cat?
CEO — and Microsoft majority shareholder — Steve Ballmer.
Ballmer doesn't hold a majority stake in Microsoft. In fact, no one does. Ballmer holds the largest individual stake, but his stake is in single digits as a percentage.

vi is too slow, with all that fancy screen movement. He used ed.
Shareholders wave your hands in the air!
All they are doing is providing an app that connects two parties, one of whom needs a ride and the other who doesn't mind giving a ride.
Selling a ride, not giving a ride.
While similar bullying...
Enforcing laws is bullying?
Perhaps Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy can blame the lack of security on Reggie Brown. Too bad they weren't given an opportunity in their depositions
First of all, WiFi operates on UNREGULATED spectrum
No it doesn't. It's unlicensed spectrum, but it's quite tightly regulated in the U.S. by the FCC under CFR 15.247.
Both Stanford and Google say the change in funding was unrelated to the previous research.
Well that certainly puts the issue to bed.
On the other hand, it's so thin that you can now slice tomatoes with it!

Amazingly, if you carry your bent iPhone 6 into The Oregon Vortex or The Mystery Spot, it will appear to straighten out.
Yelp has, for the past year or so, garnered a reputation for extorting businesses into paying for advertising on their site.
Yelp's reputation has been garnered over a longer period than the past year or so. E.g., http://www.eastbayexpress.com/...

Has anyone tried asking the liars whether they're lying? I'm sure they'd be honest about it this time.
But the liar paradox will cause Norman to short circuit.
Levitas believes that the glass for the smaller 1.5-inch and 1.7-inch watch screens was less likely to break in drop tests.
Watches are less likely to be dropped than phones, making scratch resistance a higher priority.
And all movies MUST be subtitled in French.
Subtitled? French first! All movies must be in French, and may, if you ask nicely (and in French), be subtitled in other languages.

How about you really help students save by encouraging your faculty to develop and use open source text books?
The FCC regulates TV broadcasts. That's why they are involved. It's one of their points of existence.
Why is the FCC involving itself with what's not broadcast on television?

I use Adblock Plus on Chrome AND on Firefox. I leave IE bare in case I want to look at something "bare" for some reason.
Why not use an incognito window in Chrome for your "bare" viewing? The incognito mode automatically disables all of your extensions.
