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 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!

Interesting, I was wondering when Microsoft would include the recently purchased technologies of WinInternals/SysInternals into the Windows product.
Looks like the new “Windows RE Notes” blog details the upcoming components, though there is only an introductory post at this time. Based on Windows PE, Windows RE will provide a recovery environment for Windows installations that have gone sour.
Neat stuff, and if this is based on some WinInternals technology, I wouldn’t be surprised. This will be an awesome tool for system administrators and others who support desktop and server OS installations. Check out at the link below.
Have you been waiting for a chance to try out Windows Vista? Missed out on the Beta 2 download? Well, now’s your chance!
Microsoft has opened up the Customer Preview Program for anyone to download and test Vista. If you participated in the Windows XP CPP many years ago, this is the same program.
The download is huge, and MSFN has some more information at the link below.
As governor, the State Capitol will stand for unity and common sense.
In addition to the POW/MIA flag that has long flown over the State Capitol, we will fly two flags when I am governor: the Wisconsin state flag and the American flag.
