Sue sue sue...It's like some kid who holds their breath until they get their own way.All corporations are getting worse and worse They are spiraling down a path that none of them can stop now. The bigger they get..the more money they need and they'll do anything to get it.Problem is..if you take things by force..expect a revolt
No, we don't block companies from bidding... we just don't change the terms. Verizon wants a piece of the pie their way. Too bad.Here's how the free market works: the FCC owns that part of the spectrum. They set the terms for selling. If you don't like the terms, don't buy it (or factor your dislike into the bid). I don't want to bar anyone. I *do* want companies who don't want the product at the terms listed to go do something else instead. If the restrictions are too onerous, no one will bid. If it's just Verizon being lame, others will pass them up.
why not just pull a boston teaparty without the property damageand just not use cellphones/less subscribers = less money = more reason for them to level out their selection of services in order to make customers come back
FCC to Verizon --- Shut the f*ck up or we will pull your current license!Tax Payers to Verizon -- Shut the f*ck up because we all own the airspace, and all you care about is Verizon instead of the tax payers!
