Executive Summary

The FCC's auction 66 brought in bids totaling $13.9 billion for 90 MHz of Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) spectrum and was dominated by incumbent carriers and a consortium of cable operators. These new airwaves will do little to change the competitive landscape among the largest wireless operators during the next several years as T-Mobile — the heaviest spender with $4.2 billion or 30% of the total market — plays catch-up with Cingular Wireless, Sprint Nextel, and Verizon Wireless. Significant commitments by Leap Wireless and Metro PCS will bring flat-rate wireless plans to a majority of US consumers.
