 The FCC s auction of AWS broadband spectrum began yesterday, and as Business Week and Reuters report, it was essentially a slugfest between media giants like Cablevision's Charles Dolan, News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch, and Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett. Among the top bidders is Wireless DBS, a joint creation of Echostar & Murdoch's DirecTV, who are likely getting into the wireless broadband business together. The auction could net Uncle Sam in excess of $15 billion dollars.
