FCC Auction 66 ends, bringing in $13.7 Billion

September 19, 2006

So the latest FCC wireless auction ends after 28 days of intense bidding.  T-Mobile did well, gaining significantly needed spectrum across the country.

T-Mobile LogoT-Mobile USA Inc. was the big spender of the auction, winning 120 licenses with bids totaling nearly $4.2 billion. The fourth-largest U.S. carrier gained spectrum across the country, including licenses in the large markets of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. As soon as the auction closed, T-Mobile USA put out a statement saying that it will not immediately reveal its plans for the spectrum.

This is very exciting news for me as a T-Mobile subscriber.  While their EDGE data service is great, I can’t wait for 3G data speeds!
