- “Some have recently argued that the government’s review of transactions in the wireless space – or, let’s be frank, review of one specific transaction – is somehow causing a shortage of spectrum and leading that company to raise prices for consumers”.
“The notion that competition drives spectrum inefficiency is at odds with our history of mobile.”
Comments from FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski in response to AT&T’s claim that the FCC’s decision opposing AT&T’s purchase of T-Mobile caused price increases for the wireless carrier’s customers and more inefficient use of wireless spectrum.

West Virginia Commerce Secretary Keith Burdette commenting on reports that the $126 million in federal stimulus grants is being reviewed and audited after a report that pricey oversized equipment was being used where it wasn’t necessary.
