Valueman. So we conclude that it is governments who benefit from spectrum auctions in countries where CDMA is currently employed. Further, if operators don't pay the government for this unneeded spectrum, then the governments will sell it to willing competitors who will use it to compete with existing operators. Look at all the cash the Brits raisde with their auction.

Thus, do governments hate QCOM because CDMA's inherent efficiency threatens this huge source of money? Isn't the reason the FCC fought so hard to keep Nextwave from getting spectrum so that they could grab it for sale at a much higher price.
