I imagine that the actual law is a bit more specific than what we see here. I would think that the tax would apply to paid VoIP systems that interface with traditional landline systems.
When you think about it, they almost had to do this. Within a few years all the telco's are probably going to be moving over to a VoIP system anyway, much like many cable companies already do.
That's a very good question, does the system require a password before data can be accessed and if so is there a single master password or can it be seperate for each users files? Anyone know how apple handles this?
I have to wonder what's to stop someone from going out and registering www.ébay.com? I mean, it seams like this would be pretty easily abused by scammers and phishers.
No, the stars in question would have to be several billion light years away in order for what you're describing to happen. Theres no way that astronomers can see an accretion disk around a single star from those kind of distances.

Except you forget that whoever wins the auction will do everything in their power to maximize revenue from it no matter how much or little they pay for it. They could give the spectrum to Verizon (or anyone else for that matter) for free and Verizon would still screw the people to no end if it increased their profit margins.
