Yes, AT&T’s Threat To Boycott Next Year’s Spectrum Auction Was Bullshit

AT&T: The rules proposed for the 2015 spectrum auction are crap, and we may not take part!

FCC: Yeah, sure, right, whatever, no.

AT&T: Fine, haha, we were just kidding.

Or, to be more precise:

Our desire to participate in this auction and our hope for a successful auction is unchanged. We believe that all stakeholders will be able to work together to achieve a successful incentive auction for the 600 MHz band.

Nice try, though.
