AWS-1 Auction – Day 4 Summary
What a day!
I wouldn’t be surprised if even The President of the USA finds out that today the FCC raised US$3,269,449,800 for the US Treasury.
The absolute net figure raised of US$5,673,103, 700 is only the start of the story, the supa-license band “F” has got to such a level that if the other bands sell for the same price per population per MHz: the total value raised at the auction would be US$12,005,208,000.
The differentials now are:
The record raised in an auction was US$16.857bn in 2000/1 for Auction #35 for the “C” and “F” bands. We are almost certain to beat this absolute figure now, but I doubt we will beat the price of MHz/pop as much more spectrum is on offer this time around.
