That's what I hope for, since I have both companies in my house.Would be exciting if they joined with T Mobile and made him the top dog.
By bidding up the price they also increase the value of their massive pre-existing spectrum.This is the one thing I don't understand. Dish bid the price up. That means Dish had to pay more for the bandwidth. How exactly is the Government supposed to be upset by that? Dish isn't a monopoly in the spectrum and cell service industry, so what could the Gov. object to here?
They are bidding the price up for spectrum they had no intention of buying as well. Forcing other companies to pay more, and leaving dish more room to get the spectrum they want. Which is how I understood bidding worked....This is the one thing I don't understand. Dish bid the price up. That means Dish had to pay more for the bandwidth.

Thanks. That explains it well.They are bidding the price up for spectrum they had no intention of buying as well. Forcing other companies to pay more, and leaving dish more room to get the spectrum they want. Which is how I understood bidding worked....
Seriously, anyone who really wants to stop this, just needs to put themselves out of business. Don't like it? Then become more powerful and play the game back to them. You are not forced to bid, so if the price is to high for you, LEAVE it alone. Fact of the matter is that if they left Dish with the "over inflated" price, and not bid back, then Dish would have had to pay the over inflated price. Its like "Storage Wars - Billionaires". Every single time I hear people bitch about this auction, it just reminds me of a higher stake episode of that show. Getting some real entertainment out it, but dang... I had to stop watching that show too.Thanks. That explains it well.
