D Block Spectrum Auction Fraud Alleged

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.

Is it conspiracy time? I just bought a whole new roll of aluminum foil for a really new stylish hat that keeps out the brain reading lasers. I also have popcorn and I'm willing to share.

I wouldn't worry about the tinfoil hat too much, considering nobody wanted to pay for the block of the wireless spectrum they were planning to use to beam thoughts into your brain.
