Nothing provokes ridiculous whining from major carriers more than being told that they can’t completely buy up every last piece of valuable spectrum. Re/code points out that Verizon has decided to follow in ATT’s footsteps and stamp its feet about the restrictions that the Federal Communications Commission has put in place to reserve some chunks of spectrum for smaller operators. In particular, Verizon said that it would be “perverse and unjust” for the FCC to let Sprint and T-Mobile bid on spectrum that had been set aside for smaller operators and it added that “set-asides in general can reduce auction revenues by limiting competition in the auction and harm consumer welfare.” ATT was so upset about these dastardly rules last month
