Yesterday, T-Mobile USA Executive Cole Brodman flew out to D.C. to plead with the FCC to reconsider a proposal that would require bidders in the next spectrum auction to offer free Internet access, Dow Jones reported. FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is proposing that the winning bidder in an auction would be required to devote at least 25 percent of the airwaves for free Internet access to 95 percent of the country. A long list of other companies also oppose the idea, such as AT&T, Texas Instruments and Motorola. T-Mobile argues that in particular the sale would affect them because the Internet activity will be next to the band its using for wireless services.

All the opponents of the plan, would offer additional competition for their services, which cost billions of dollars to build.
