Wireless spectrum auction

Some details on the wireless spectrum auction I mentioned in class yesterday:

Industry Canada spectrum auction home page -- a correction, the spectrum was actually in the range of 1-2 GHz (in class I said 700 MHz).

Bid tracking system -- in total, the licenses went for around $4.25 billion dollars. With about 100 MHz on the line, that's around $40 per Hz.
