June 16th, 2008Spectrum Auction: Round 64 Mom, Dad, are we there yet?
Someone wake us up when we’re ready to land? At about 10 Million dollars an hour (rounds now start on the hour, 8 a day) the spectrum auction keeps spiraling up into the heavens. And yet not much is actually happening as the bid increments are getting smaller at this stage. ‘A’ block though has some entertaining action. Rogers has shown they are pretty committed to keeping the whole of A block. Which has pretty much everyone (even Bell getting in on the action) in playing sport with them by taking pot shots at the block and forcing Rogers to spend more and more each round to buy it’s licenses back. Of anyone, Rogers looks to be carrying the most of the steadily growing total revenues. Which now risen to a lofty 3.7 Billion.
Quebecor and Globalive are still finding time to squabble over central Canadian licenses. You’d think by this point they’d have realized they have greater common enemies than each other. You might wonder why they don’t just call each other up and sort things out on the side. Maybe because that sort of behaviour is against the auction rules. Or maybe they just couldn’t afford the roaming minutes.
Even txt messages you know, are getting more expensive all the time.
