47 Spectrum Auction Discussion

write a short history of a spectrum auction in a country other than Canada. Your history should consider several issues: the bidders, the winners, and the business and public service implications of the auction. You should also outline any public commentary, debates, or controversies that arose during the auction. To find this material, draw on announcements and press releases from government (and other parties), as well as press coverage. Use your research to analyze and describe some of the economic, political, and social impacts of a spectrum auction, as situated in a particular national context. Your research should be based on different material than that covered in the course readings.
