Auction 73/76 reached the $15 billion that pundits said it might on its 7th
day and 21st round of bidding.
Other auctions of this same 700 MHz spectrum, 44 and 49, and the AWS-1
auction of 2006 for less desirable spectrum yielded this info.
Auction 44 generated $116,118,800 in bids and $88,651,630 in cash in 16 days
from 125 bidders in 84 rounds.
Auction 49 generated $62,983,100 in 13 days from 56 bidders in 86 rounds.
Auction 66 the AWS-1 and most recent auction generated $13,879,110,200 from
168 bidders in 29 days and 161 rounds.
Auction 73/76 could go over $30 billion or about half what I thought it
would go to, $60 billion. It is the economy. The FCC has had the uncanny
ability to pick dates that turn out to be challenged. At least four big
bidders everyone thought would be in this one are not.
There are a few wrinkles in this auction that could still propel it higher
though.
