PIAC releases backgrounder on AWS-3 Auction costs and benefits for consumers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC) today released a backgrounder on the AWS-3 Auction costs and benefits to Canadian consumers entitled The AWS-3 Spectrum Auction – What is the Best Deal for Consumers? The backgrounder concludes the possibility of a 4th national player in the Canadian wireless market could easily offset any reduced auction proceeds due the announced set aside of 60% of this auction’s spectrum for new entrants.
