SPECTRUM AUCTIONS ARE NOT A PANACEA:
THEORY AND EVIDENCE OF ANTI-COMPETITIVE AND RENT-SEEKING BEHAVIOR

IN FCC RULEMAKINGS AND AUCTION DESIGN
BY

BACKGROUND
Today’s telecommunications sector presents a high degree of concentration. In the wireless sector
we have four major national competitors and the broadband access market is even more concentrated.

incumbent LECs. As such, competitive market forces are stymied resulting in higher prices, less
investment and less innovation to bring consumers better and more affordable services.
In short, consumers are getting shortchanged.
