FCC Keeps Auction Reserve at 30 MHz
Almost There.

VZW and AT&T have effectively secured the industry leaving T-Mobile, Sprint and the other smaller carriers with no way to build regardless of how much they spend to expand.

This essentially plays into the more money for government rather than procreating more diverse consumer choice.
