I was thinking how do you determine a winner or loser in this auction. Companies are taking different approaches to this auction. Several companies are planning for the future while others are planning for the here and now. Companies like Leap and MetroPCS are looking to capitalize on this spectrum as quickly as possible while Verizon, Cingular and Sprint are looking to position themselves for the future. TMO is attacking for both perspectives. Who are some of these other players and who are they bidding for or what are they planning on doing with that spectrum? Anyone know?

The problem is we have no frame of reference as the layman. What frequencies were bid on? Verizon spent a ton of money, but only on spectrum east of the mississippi. Why? Sprint now owns spectrum jointly with cable companies, but does that mean the cablecos will be able to dictate what the spectrum will be used for, and not Sprint?
