T-Mobile Cranky About FCC Auction
T-Mobile USA has asked the Federal Communications Commission to extend up to three months the public comment cycle for a controversial free wireless Internet plan, RCR Wireless News reports.

“T-Mobile USA, which spent $4.2 billion on 120 licenses in the AWS-1 [spectrum] auction two years ago, remains concerned that AWS-3 operations could cause interference to spectrum the carrier hopes will provide it with sufficient capacity to provide 3G wireless services and thereby remain competitive with AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp,” the article said.
