@dude @mangeurdenuage@loadaverage.org I've never been a fan of these FCC bandwidth auctions. The #FCC was created to steward radio frequencies and other electronic communications for the benefit of the nation and its people, but auctions distract them from that duty by making them seek to sell more and more frequency allocations to the highest bidding corporations.

In this way, they can turn their backs completely on their legislated duties while claiming that auction fees prove they're doing their job correctly.
