In case you missed it, the bidding is now over for the 700 MHz spectrum. The US governemnt racked up just under a cool 20 billion dollars as a result. I guess we can thank the telecommunications industry for those fat rebate checks we will be getting over the next few months.

That is of course, if you are eligible for one of these gifts from Uncle Sam. If not, why are you still reading... Shouldn't you be golfing or on the corporate jet?
