Bob;
Good luck. I'm not much of a gambler, but I suspect that you had your
opportunity befote, couldn't raise the stake necessary to sit at the table,
and now, well, I'll pull my punch, this time at least.

Doing a bit of that today. Second guessing what I could have done or
said about buying spectrum in Auctions 44 and 49. Channels 55, 54 and
59.
All three of these channels were bought for a total of $145 million of
which around $35 was funny money from Qualcomm.
We ended up owning Worcester and Vieques Island bought in Auction 49.
Auction 44 was an incredible missed opportunity that came right down
to the wire. In short we had about 5 days to raise $19 million to buy
the six regions that channel 55 was divided into. We didn't do it but
at the last minute if we had put up $1000 we would have been able to
increase that to $19 million over the next 4 months since the Auction
changed totally at the last minute.
