1) Spectrum is used so efficiently that little new spectrum is needed.
2) If new spectrum is not needed, then governments may be unhappy because they can not rake in big bucks selling licenses.

JohnG,

I've been lurking here for a few months but this is my first QCOM post.

Does the recent spectrum auction in the UK not validate the high demand for spectrum? It seems to me the above quoted observations are inconsistent. As the more efficient technology, higher spectrum prices should benefit the Q. Can we at the same time say the Q is so efficient that govts can't raise enough revenue?

Thanks for your comments. I appreciate all the good discussion on this thread.

Shane
