Implications of the FCC spectrum auction: one view

Further to our post about the [tag]FCC[/tag] [tag]Spectrum auctions[/tag], legal scholar Susan Crawford has a commentary on the implications of the auction outcome for competition in the US broadband market.  Essentially, she argues that the failure of new, non-telco entrants to gain spectrum may delay the rise of innovative [tag]wireless broadband[/tag] services because it entrenches the walled-gardens model of traditional [tag]telecommunications[/tag] networks, rather than the open-access model of the Internet.
