While everyone is saying what the Euros have done with their spectrum was crazy, i.e., paying €130 billion to the government, what the US is doing with its spectrum is crazier. The €130 billion, paid by the operators for spectrum in Europe, can be seen under this perspective: get the government out of this issue. But in the US everything is different. Do you remember PCS licenses being doled out to minorities? That wasn't exaclty clever. Wireless data in the US will end up a big mess not because to the problems Europeans are having now: Battling MSFT inroads, indebteness of operators, lack of applications, delays in terminals' availability, and trying to kill each other and having no money for vendor financing. In the US the problems will be related to spectrum issues, get one of those politicians using spectrum for its own narrow political agenda and political gains. That can derail wireless data in the US. And the SBC's of this world will be just watching and laughing their way to the bank. And asking for a bribe, a.k.a subsisidies to get ADSL in the place where "Judas lost its boots". Oh, and they will be also asking for tax breaks too.
