highest bidder. The Bush administration hopes to make over $25 billion on
spectrum auctions in the near future. Keep that in mind the next time you
are on your cell phone and you hear someone say "Talk is cheap."

This administration has no more chance of seeing all those spectrum sales
than Clinton's did before him. It is Congress that has been frothing at the
mouth since the design of HDTV. That was supposed to free up all the
broadcast TV spectrum. Problem is, Congress realized they can't quite "take"
that away from people (yet). Not that they aren't trying hard to figure out
a way, and this administration, like the last one, is helping. Lastly, the
author's quip at the end of the editorial is off base. Talk *is* cheap, it
has never been less expensive to call locally, or anywhere in the world.
