Upcoming 600MHz spectrum auction could produce big wins for T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T

Based on data published today, it appears that the FCC will have plenty of 600MHz spectrum to offer to satiate the desires of T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon. Sprint, as you might recall, has decided to stay clear of the auction since it believes that it already has enough spectrum to carry it through the near future. The data indicates that the initial clearing target of 600MHz spectrum for the reverse auction is a higher than expected 126MHz. Once that amount is cleared, the forward auction can begin.

Few things about the future captivate us like tech innovations, potential historical events and, especially, supermarket prices.

Redditor LDM312 found an old, San Francisco Bay Area newspaper from 1985 that predicted what the prices of common, everyday items would be in the year 2000, based on trends of the day.

Surprisingly, the prices aren’t that far off, and, if anything, are over estimates for the year 2000. For example, things like $94 tires, and a $159 women’s sport coat are all within the realm of reality for 16 years ago. However, $11 movie tickets were a bit of an overshot. The …
